Overview

  • Homa parted ways with caddie Bill Harke and shouldered his own bag through two rounds at the Kinsale Golf final qualifier in Columbus.
  • He carded a 5-under 139 to force a five-man playoff but fell when Cameron Young sank a birdie to take the last Oakmont berth.
  • Homa then missed an alternate position in sudden death, ending his streak of U.S. Open appearances dating to 2019.
  • At Rockville, LIV Golf member Marc Leishman advanced via a playoff while several fellow LIV players withdrew or failed to qualify.
  • Homa now heads to the RBC Canadian Open aiming to move into the world’s top 60 and secure his U.S. Open spot via rankings.
