“Max is such a good guy” – Paige Spiranac lauds Max Homa after Masters loss, says he’s ‘so close’ to his first major

Following Max Homa's close defeat at the Masters, Paige Spiranac praised the golfer and said that he was close to winning his first major soon.

Although the final leaderboard doesn't appear to be close, Homa was in contention at the Masters, trailing by two strokes after 54 holes. However, he posted a 1-over 73 and finished at 4-under after four rounds, falling seven strokes short of Scottie Scheffler, who fired a 68 in the final round.

Following the conclusion of the Masters, Spiranac praised Homa on X (formerly Twitter). She wrote:

"Max is such a good guy, and you know he’s so close to getting that major win!"

The 33-year-old golfer has won six titles on the PGA Tour but is still looking for his first major championship title. This was his second straight top-ten in the majors after he tied for tenth at the Open Championship last year.
