As Homa recorded his third win at the PGA Tour, here is what he said, “I saw a press conference he [Cantlay] did [at the Tour Championship] where he kind of said that he just tries to be himself at all times. And I try to kind of be introspective and think, ‘Well, who am I?’ And I’m someone when I play at home, I talk a lot and I wouldn’t say goofy, I’m still stoic, but I talk a lot. So, I tried this week to talk a lot and be me and not feel like I was being any different than who I am.”

And there’s no denying that the taste of this victory was a little sweeter than usual. Credits go to his wife, Lacey, who graced the event and gave the much-needed emotional support to her golfer husband. While the new season has just begun, do you think Homa has it in himself to maintain this play?
