Swagger? Max Homa would better talk about his bad rounds

It is rarely needed four great rounds to win a golf tournament. Often, it takes three, perhaps only two really great to be at the top of the manager’s table. But most importantly, requires zero bad Rounds, which Max Homa has understood quite well in recent years.

The 34-year-old scored only 64 strokes on Saturday-his best randy in three months-doing it up to the top of the championship Sanderson Farms, even with a closing noise, to lower just a few strokes of the superiority. The type of round that stands much more for casual golf fans at home than to be approved in the thick like Homa. Natural is natural when you see “Homa -8” as many people saw on Saturday, you may wonder if the Homa could return to shape.

We thought this during the PGA Championship in May, when Homa scored a second round 64Just for golf to score quickly, humbly humbly in a T60. We thought it in July when Homa claimed in John Deere Classicending t5. And we will think now for the next 24 hours at least. Just don’t expect Homa to hold this round for rehearsals. It was his 72th Friday that stood the most.

During a brief interview after his third round, Homa was asked, “Do you feel like your swagger is probably going to get you off?”

He has been here before.

“I don’t know about it,” Homa began. “I think I know – especially after that long rest – I know that, if I don’t get my way, I’m a good round away from being on a golf tour. In a week it’s fine, maybe I play two (great rounds) and I’m ahead.

“I just think I know what is there, and I know if I can stay out of my way, I can go back to yesterday feel mentally as if I could have shot 2-, 3-bi and I have even turned it on.

“I don’t know if it’s weird, but I just think my patience seems to be better and I’m more tolerant of things that don’t go well, and I am very confident that I can do some good results.”

Homa did not have his best things in that second round, but quarreled a bunch of pars, getting up and down six times when he lost green. So you turn 75 to 72, which has been one of the most difficult things – but even the most valuable – for Homa lately.

His good is still really good, which is part of what you hear in that response. It is just when he is not great – keeping those days around, maybe even one under, are the way you make a bouquet of cuts, how to hang around on the tournament, and how simply survive until your best things come back.

Considering its calendar year, Homa had almost exactly the same amount of average rounds as below average. At no wonder, his season has flown with many lost cuts and some moments in the quarrel. Datagolf has it in an estimate of 0.15 strokes, only one level above the PGA Tour standard, which places it at 127 in the Datagolf rankings.

This golf level is still good, and completely stable, but it is almost low that Homa has been in the last five years. 73, 74 or 75 random during the summer, but at a frequency about once a month. Back in the spring and early summer, Homa was making those rounds about once a tour. All of these begin to look like he is at the bottom. And it’s a reminder that is not always so much for your best rounds, but to limit the damage to your worst rounds.
