Max Homa

Max Homa won the Farmers Insurance Open with stellar golf that was exceeded only by his winner's press conference.

“What I learned from Kobe Bryant's teachings and watching him work at his craft back in the day is he puts in all these hours behind the scenes so that when he's on camera doing his thing, he can just let it happen. I love it and it has like a weird sadness to it. It was definitely nice to win doing that yesterday.” It was cool to win after doing it. The 20 minutes he spent speaking to the media after the sixth win of his career and the fourth in the last two years was fascinating, insightful and just plain fun. It was the worst day ever at the same time. It was a first for an official PGA Tour event. It was the scariest … And after a triumph as meaningful to Homa as Saturday’s win in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, where he shot a closing six-under-par 66 on the South Course to beat Keegan Bradley by two, the 32-year-old from Los Angeles was at his most loquacious. So I will be changing diapers, I will enjoy every second of it as I always do. logo both on my head and in my heart.

And I still go practice, but I think I just manage my time a bit better. “I do like to say dumb things and make dumb jokes and observe weird stuff and tweet about it like, you know, a kid, I guess,” Homa added. It was the scariest – hard to say because it was an amazing day, get a new son, Cam. “I've joked about it all afternoon, but I really, I want to win when he remembers it,” Homa said. “However, when you have a kid as a professional athlete, you hear so many times the noise, Oh, you're not going to have the same time, this, that or whatever.

Max Homa, who began the day five strokes off the lead, survives an adventure-filled day at the Farmers Insurance Open for his sixth PGA Tour win.

“Went for a tough shot and just a combination of bad shots and a couple bad breaks. The last five of his six Tour wins came in come-from-behind fashion. Life and livelihood intersected so unexpectedly, in such a profound way, that his face seemed a mix of elation and momentary shock. The seemingly ocean-sized opening was enough for Homa to pounce. The ride became a white-knuckler on the back nine of Torrey Pines’ routinely ruthless South Course. 16, the surfboard-snatching combinations in play would cause a safe cracker to sweat. Others crawled to the edge, waited for full theatrical effect, then tumbled in as fans roared. Is that Keegan Bradley draining three birdie putts in a five-hole stretch to rise from the pretzeled humanity in the chase? Ryder, searching for his first Tour victory and ranked No. “The results help you kind of build that foundation. “But when I work, when I practice and I play tournaments, this is what I love. Welcome to the chaos, Sungjae Im.

A 7-foot birdie putt fell on the ninth hole, and Homa found himself with a share of the lead. To see them behind the 18th green knowing I was probably about to win a golf tournament was cool. Homa kissed them both as he walked off the hole to sign his scorecard. That, before giving away three shots on the back and falling to ninth with Finau after a 69. Homa, playing one group ahead of Ryder, made a steady climb up the leaderboard with four birdies on the front. His wife Lacey was waiting behind the 18th green. 6 and 7, dropping to 11-under for the tournament, Homa saw an opportunity. Three more birdies on the back weren’t quite enough. Like, you know, it was a good experience for me and I think it’s only going to feed me. “(I) battled a lot, but, hopefully, there’s going to be more opportunities.” “It’s a beautiful game,” said Homa, who won $1,566,000 on Saturday. Homa shot a 6-under 66 in Saturday’s final round at Torrey Pines to overcome a five-stroke deficit and beat Keegan Bradley by two shots.

It's hard to describe how quickly CBS has revamped their golf coverage. Long a plagued by a staid feel, CBS has now quickly risen to the top of network golf ...

This should be an obvious thing for players to embrace, too; Homa (and his sponsors, which might be the biggest incentive for players to adopt this going forward) received a long stretch of network CBS airtime on a Friday evening. As Homa discussed with the booth, there’s plenty of downtime on the course. (He might be the only golfer with an elite Twitter presence.) There will always be certain players who refuse, but the more that choose to do it (and do it with the enthusiasm and insight that Max brought here) will only make the broadcast better.

Max Homa has a new secret weapon in his bag while competing on the PGA Tour: a sports psychologist.

He knows that his good is good enough and it is a lot easier for him to walk down the fairways and know he doesn’t need to be perfect.” He said, ‘I’m not telling you this because I think you’re broken, I’m telling you this because I think it can boost us real high in this game of golf.” “It’s really easy to fake-believe that you’re a really good player but now he walks around and you can just tell that he knows when he plays well he’s going to contend and he should be one of the best players in the world,” Greiner said. Speaking at the Tour Championship in August after a round of 62 where the stars aligned, he said, “I felt like I deserved to play well, and I wasn’t even letting myself in the first place,” he said. “The way he put it was I’m not tapping into a big facet of the game.
