Homa makes cut, lets out ‘out-of-body experience’
Max Homa made the cut at the 2023 Honda Classic despite a rollercoaster third round that included an “out-of-body experience” on the par-5 18th. Homa shot a 3-under 67 on Friday to finish 3-under for the tournament, good for a tie for 19th heading into the weekend. But it was his adventure on 18 that had him talking afterward. Homa hit his tee shot into the water, then hit his third shot into the water. He eventually made a double-bogey 7, but it could have been much worse. “I don’t know what happened,” Homa said. “It was like an out-of-body experience. I just started hitting balls in the water.” Despite the rough finish, Homa is still in contention heading into the weekend. He’s just five shots behind leader Chris Kirk.
