It might be hard to believe, but Max Homa is making his Tour Championship debut this week, almost a decade after turning pro and eight years after securing his first PGA Tour card in 2014.
The 30-year-old started his East Lake premiere with a bogey at the 1st on Thursday, following it up with three more and finishing with a 1-over 71.
Friday was a completely different story.
On the tail end of what he called the best year of his career, Homa did a complete 180 in Round 2, going 5 under on the front nine before adding another birdie and an eagle on the par-5 18th to end his day with an 8-under 62 and 9 under overall – good enough for T-7.
