Overview

  • Max Homa fired a 7-under 64 in the second round of the PGA Championship, his lowest round ever in a major, moving him into a tie for third place.
  • The performance marks a significant turnaround after a season marred by five consecutive missed cuts and a drop to 78th in the world rankings.
  • Homa credits his resurgence to swing adjustments, equipment changes, and the support of his new caddie, Bill Harke, following a split with longtime caddie Joe Greiner.
  • The 34-year-old golfer's familiarity with Quail Hollow, where he won the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship, has bolstered his confidence this week.
  • Homa aims to finish in the top four to secure an exemption for the U.S. Open, avoiding the need to qualify for the event at Oakmont next month.
