(Reuters) - J.B. Holmes won the Genesis Open by one stroke in Los Angeles on Sunday after Justin Thomas blew a four-stroke lead with winds wreaking havoc on the greens.

Thomas started the final round with a comfortable cushion at Riviera but his lead was gone after just six holes. He later putted four times at the 13th hole and had a three-putt at the next en route to a four-over-par 75.
