Max Homa left Augusta National higher than the tips of the club’s pine trees. He’d tied for third at last week’s Masters, his best-ever finish in a major. He said he handled his nerves well. He said he didn’t let expectations affect his play.
He said he had an image.
It came Sunday, during the final round, in the heat of battle, while walking from the 11th green to the 12th tee. There, Homa paused. Looked around. Inhaled.
“I had a good buddy of mine remind me going into Saturday that I need to look around and smell the roses and appreciate what I get to do,” Homa said earlier this week at the RBC Heritage, “because I’ve seen some not-so-great parts of professional golf. So I was very aware on the weekend to smile. Joe [Greiner, his caddie] kept reminding me this is the most fun we’ve ever had. Appreciate that and then get back to work.
“I tried every day to walk up to that 12th tee with my eyes up and look around and scan the crowd. I got basically like a standing ovation walking to that tee, and I just tried to stare at it as long as I could and enjoy it. We got it on Saturday, as well. Just something about walking to that 12th tee is a pretty amazing feeling.”
Good stuff. At the least, it’s an interesting thought in a story where you can find out who made how much.
