"If I didn't respond to you this week and you're somehow watching this, I'm sorry, but it's a lot." "I did try and at least plan a month or two ago like how I go about it," Homa said. Open tickets, they shouldn't expect a reply. He joked that if friends have texted him this week looking for U.S. The devil's advocate might ask whether such a home-course advantage actually could create distractions for Homa. "All the guys who played the Pac-12s here, anybody who played here prior, it's definitely a bit of an advantage." "I do look at that (course knowledge) as a bit of a boost," Homa said. When Homa was a student-athlete at Cal, he shot a course-record 61 during the 2013 Pac-12 Championship. He has history at LACC, too, even though it isn't a regular PGA Tour venue and is set to host major golf for the first time. Of his six PGA Tour wins, four have come in the state, including the 2021 Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles and the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this year in San Diego. Homa has played his best golf in the familiar confines of California. "To have a major in my hometown, 18-ish miles from where I grew up, I think that's a dream come true." Open, putt to win the Masters, you don't picture the golf course except for if it's at Augusta," Homa said Tuesday. "I've just been thinking about how - I don't know, when you grow up and we all have that cliche joke, putt to win the U.S. He is hoping it comes this week at the U.S. 7 in the world - but Homa is still in search of his first major title. The 32-year-old has risen into the ranks of golf's elite - he's ranked No. For multiple reasons, The Los Angeles Country Club is a special venue for Max Homa.
