‘I thought I handled myself great,’ Homa says of final round at Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Max Homa faltered a bit on the weekend at the Masters, struggling to make birdies on the way to a pair of 73s.
But he still claimed a tie for third — albeit seven shots behind Scheffler — along with Colin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood.
It was by far the best major showing of Homa’s career and perhaps a springboard to contending more regularly in the biggest events.
A six-time winner on the PGA Tour, the 33-year-old Homa has been a big bust in the majors. His only notable finishes were a tie for 10th at last year’s British Open and a tie for 13th at the 2022 PGA Championship.
In Homa’s other 15 major appearances, he missed the cut nine times and didn’t finish higher than 40th when he did advance.
“I thought I handled myself great,” he said. “Didn’t make any putts, but really didn’t feel like I blinked.”
