Max Homa competed in a U.S. Open qualifier, uniquely choosing to carry his own bag after parting ways with his caddie, Bill Harke. Homa preferred to concentrate on his game rather than discuss the separation, acknowledging a sense of peace in walking alone. Despite facing challenges during the qualifier, including a double bogey, he managed to recover well. His performance put him near the cutline, suggesting that this solitary experience might aid in his personal and competitive growth.
"I'd much rather talk about the golf instead of all the questions about the caddie," Homa said. "I'm good. Just hoofed it 36."
"It seems to be better than when someone is standing next to me for some reason," he said. "Maybe I just looked at it as a nice, peaceful walk."
"It's going to probably be heartbreaking, but it's all right," Homa said about the qualifier. "I haven't carried my bag 36 holes in a while so I'm a little tired."
