As the golf world’s favorite gears up for the patriotic showdown at Marco Simone, Homa’s friends have decided to be by his side when he is off the blocks on Friday. And they have taken quite a lot of trouble to be with him.

Max Homa is going to have massive support

The 32-year-old American patriot has notched up 8 professional wins in his career till now and stands at no.7 in the World Ranking. The PGA tour pro won two events this season and is in Rome for the patriotic showdown.

The Arizonian golfer reposted a story on his Instagram where Aldridge updated a picture of herself with her partner on a flight. He can be seen sitting with a neck-support pillow and an eye mask. The story reads, “When your fiancée doesn’t know how to fly, #nervouswreck. LFG @max.homa #USA.”

Amid the stress of the patriotic event, Max Homa lightens the atmosphere

A funny tweet can be easily confused with a jibe and vice-versa. Sometimes, fans don’t seem to understand what Max Homa is trying to say. His recent tweet was about fist pumps, and fans think he was talking about his Ryder Cup teammate and long-time friend, Jordan Spieth.

Homa posted about being uncomfortable with this habit in golfers. He finds right-handed golfers fist pumping from left hand awkward. One would think why Homa would raise such an insignificant issue in the lead-up to a very important event. But that’s how he is; he has shown time and again. Maybe he does all this to defuse tension.
