TROON, Scotland -- Max Homa watched the 30-foot birdie putt drop in the cup and let out a huge roar, his biggest celebration since his strong Ryder Cup debut last year at Marco Simone.
The occasion? Two more days at the British Open. And while he was still 13 shots behind, it was a big moment to at least have something goes his way for the first time since April.
"Just been really not playing very well, and golf has not been very fun," Homa said.
He was among those in contention on the back nine at the Masters in April, and the Californian looked to be on the verge to taking another big step in his career.
