Max Homa hoists the Wells Fargo trophy

My Tuesday Twofer picks did a bit better this week. I picked Rickie Fowler (T4) to win and Rory McIlroy (T8) to Top10. Rickie put on a run, albeit too late, but Rory continued to struggle on Sundays -- which is why I didn't pick him to win. Hopefully both players will get things figured out soon.

  • Winners: 2 for 18
  • Place well (Top10): 10 for 18 (5 Top5 finish, 5 more Top10s)
  • Overall Top10s: 20 of 36 (10 Top5s, 10 more Top10s)
But I confess that the Wells Fargo, despite being just a couple of hours from my home, wasn't my first concern this Sunday. Within minutes of the suspension of play due to lightning, I was on my way to watch Avengers:Endgame with friends. (Spoiler alert: The Avangers received.) But Max Homa had a three-stroke lead when I left, and I felt pretty good about his chances.

After all, in spite of how hardly ever he's had a threat like this on the PGA Tour, he showed no inclination to begin going backward. And but for a bogey on sixteen -- noticeably understandable, given the Green Mile -- he did simply what I predicted.

Plus he did it without Infinity Stones or a gauntlet. Pretty magnificent, in case you inquire from me.

Lightning delays had been a ways too common on all of the tours recently, and the truth that Max dealt with them so professionally bodes properly for him going ahead. In fact, now that he is within the PGA Championship, I cannot help however wonder if lightning might strike two times for the most up-to-date PGA Tour winner.

At any price, Limerick Summaries bring no danger of lightning moves, so there might be no delay getting it equipped for him. In reality, right here it is, proper now!

Now, could Bethpage be where he strikes next? The photo came from this page at newsok.com.
