However, this time some, fans think that Homa is taking a jibe at his Ryder Cup comrade Jordan Spieth. Homa tweeted today, “Left-handed fist pumps by right-handed golfers are my ick, as the kids (and my wife) say”.

And since Spieth is in the habit of doing this despite being a right-handed player, fans think that Homa might be aiming at him. While the three-time major championship winner plays golf right-handed, he throws left-handed.

However, there is no animosity between the players. A few days ago Spieth and his wife Annie Spieth welcomed a baby girl named Sophie on 12 September and received felicitations on the internet.
