LOS ANGELES — The PGA Tour at Riviera is must-see TV for Lanny Wadkins because it's personal.
The most prominent nickname for Riviera remains "Hogan's Alley" from when Ben Hogan won three times in two years, capping it off with the 1948 U.S. Open. Wadkins, however, has his own slice of history on the fabled course off Sunset Boulevard.
"I do watch it every year because I have that record," he said.
It's a record that speaks to why Riviera, which George Thomas and William Bell designed 90 years ago, commands so much respect.
