DETROIT – Max Homa still can’t get over being paired with Tiger Woods, his childhood idol, for the first two rounds of the 150th British Open at St. Andrews. He called witnessing Woods make the walk across the Swilcan Burn Bridge at 18 during the second round, potentially for the final as a competitor, a “historic moment.”
“One of those things I feel like people say, ‘I’ll never forget where I was when’ and like, I was there,” said Homa, who didn’t seem to mind that his missed cut at the Open was his first weekend off in his last 14 starts.
This week, Homa is part of a threesome for the first two rounds of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club with one of his closest friends on the PGA Tour, Joel Dahmen. Same thing, right?
