Max Homa has tremendously improved his game on the PGA Tour. Homa turned professional in 2013 and it took him six years to win a tour event. However, it is the undying mentality to improve that is propelling him to keep trying. Homa is aware that he’s a much better player now, and he does not want to hide the fact.

Homa is a star on Twitter. The California native is never shy of expressing his views on the social media platform, but he’s not the same in front of the camera. Homa is currently a part of the field at the 2021 Valspar Championship where he ended Round 2 tied for third place.

“I think I’m just better at golf now. I told my wife that there’s a few tee shots out here I remember being anxious over and I came showed up this week on Wednesday and was rolling my eyes that I thought that that was as demanding as it was.”

“So I just think I’m getting a little bit better, feeling more comfortable out here. It’s a golf course that should suit me pretty well the way I play the game typically, so it’s nice to come back and kind of — I haven’t been here in a while — so I had fresh, kind of fresh look at it and not really any bad memories, no good memories either, but that’s okay sometimes,” he added.
