The DP World Tour is almost done with its penultimate end-season event, the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, and this time around, some really precise and harsh neck-by-neck play has been seen on the greens. After the second round of stroke play, the leaderboard has two contenders in the first spot: Max Homa and Matthieu Pavon.

Amid the tussle for the title and the trophy, Max Homa has unveiled some behind-the-scenes anecdotes about why he is playing on the DP Tour while throwing subtle shade at his fellow PGA Tour players. Here’s a quick look at why the ground in South Africa has become Homa’s favorite teeing and putting course.

Max Homa declares his love for the greens in Africa

Some courses leave a deep mark in the players’ hearts, and it seems like this time a certain green has swooned the American golfer, Max Homa. In a recent Instagram update, DP World Tour’s official account posted quick snippets of on-the-course conversations with the player. In one of the videos posted, Homa is seen taking a walk on the course after his game, answering why he likes the African greens.

Talking about how the ground at the Gary Player Golf Course is different from all the other greens he has played at, the player adds, “We don’t see much of these tiny greens out here, and narrow fairways quite like this. So, it is cool to get to experience that.”

In the conversation, Homa also mentions how, unlike him, many other PGA Tour players aren’t a part of the DP Tour this time around. He adds, “A lot of people have been throwing around, you know, the game thing… I do think a part of that is playing more around the world really.” 

Max Homa’s return to the greens has been nothing less than a big spectacle. His performance this time has surely made some heads turn. Here’s a glimpse of his second-day play in South Africa.
