Arrr, me hearties! Avast ye! Max Homa be a true swashbuckler, fer he sank a hole-in-one at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in fair Detroit on Sunday. Aye, he be a fine lad, scorin' a 67 in the final round. But alas, he finished the tournament tied for 21st place. Shiver me timbers!
In the 17th-century pirate language, matey, let me tell ye a tale of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club. Max Homa, a fine golfer, nearly reached the top of the leaderboard in the final round. Arr, he was on the 15th hole, a par 3, and about 140 yards from the pin. His shot hit the green with great precision and took a few bounces before rolling backward and finding the cup for a glorious hole-in-one. His shipmates in his group cheered and gave him a friendly slap of the hands.This be Homa's second ace on the PGA Tour, me hearties! His splendid shot helped him finish with a respectable 67 in the final round and a total score of 15-under par for the tournament. He had five birdies and two bogeys on this fine Sunday. Aye, he be a fine golfer, indeed!
Homa, in his post-round interviews, confessed that he didn't actually see the ball go into the hole. He be a modest mate, that one. He said he had been missing shorter putts throughout the week, so this time he aimed closer to the hole with his perfect pitching wedge. Ahoy, he was hoping the ball would skip forward if it landed short, or if it landed where it did, it would get close. He made a good swing, but alas, he couldn't see the ball. He be hoping to see one of his hole-in-ones someday, but even without seeing it, the roar of the crowd made him a happy sailor.
However, despite his impressive shot, it weren't enough to climb back up the leaderboard. He finished tied for 21st place. A disappointing outcome for our brave golfer.
Rickie Fowler, me hearties, emerged victorious in a playoff against Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin. All three finished with a score of 24-under par for the tournament. Fowler shot a 68 in the final round, while Morikawa finished with a 64 and Hadwin with a 67. This be Fowler's first PGA Tour win since the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2019. He now has six career PGA Tour wins under his belt. Aye, what a triumph for the lad!
