Homa, tied for the lead halfway through this Masters, thrived while playing in the shadow of a legend — and gleaned plenty from Tiger Woods in the process.
Max Homa got to play the first two rounds of this Masters with Tiger Woods, one of his idols. “All the clichés you hear about him and all the old stories about how he will grind it out,” Homa said, “it was fun to see that in person.” AUGUSTA, Ga. — Even through the bluster that blew hats off heads and sand out of bunkers by the beachful, there is a warmth to the applause provided by the gallery that surrounds the 18th green at Augusta National Golf Club.
Yeah, but … tell a 14-year-old Max Homa he would play two rounds at the Masters with Tiger Woods — and best him by seven shots? What’s an accomplishment now is playing 23 holes on an unrelenting Friday, completing the weather-delayed first round in the morning, resting for all of 45 or 50 minutes, then firing it up again.He looked like he meant it. At 18, the wind gusted so powerfully that Woods had to step away from that final putt. His entire group bowed heads, shielded eyes and braced against it.
