Max Homa shares disappointment on ending moving day in a ‘lame way’ at the Sanderson Farms Championship

Max Homa shared disappointment on ending moving day in a lame way at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Homa was playing at the Sanderson Farms Championship this week, and the player finished three rounds of the tournament, landing at T8 with a 13-under in total.

After Saturday's round, Homa reflected on his overall performance. He added that his second drive was weirder than the first one. His words in the press conference were (via ASAP Sports):

“I don't know, it felt like my driver broke, more so because my second drive was weirder than my first one. That could be me making excuses, I'm not sure. I'm going to go whack a few in a minute. That was weird because I thought I flushed it, and it came out dead left. Then my provisional came out weirder to the right. I've got to go figure that one out. Kind of a lame way to end a good day, but that's kind of just golf, I guess.”

Max Homa continued,

“I thought my speed was a lot better. I putted for a while yesterday afternoon and kind of just made a little pact with myself that the only thing I would think about was the pace, even on the short one. Strokes felt so good, and I felt like yesterday missed a few early and started just thinking about my putting stroke too much. Speed got worse, and I don't think there's any technical flaw in there. I was really happy with the speed. That's how you're going to make long ones typically. I thought for the most part today it was really consistent.”

The Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson will conclude on October 5, 2025. Currently, the tournament is led by Garrick Higgo with a score of 18 under. The second place is occupied by Danny Walker and Steven Fisk; both finished at 16 under.
