"We would not be able to have anybody caddie for us" - Max Homa laughs off forgettable seasons comparison with Smylie Kaufman

Max Homa had a sensational outing at the Gary Player Country Club in the Nedbank Golf Challenge. He recorded his first-ever victory on the DP World Tour after defeating Nicolai Hojgaard by a margin of four strokes.

Homa was recently on The Smylie Show hosted by professional golfer Smylie Kaufman. During the interview, Kaufman asked the 33-year-old golfer to predict who would win between the two statistically worst versions of them. The golfer laughed off and said:

"The winner of this match is the pro shop for the golf balls that need to be bought. That's definitely one of them. It would be ugly. I guarantee you we would not be able to have anybody caddie for us. There's no way somebody would agree to sit there and watch."

Check out Homa's comments in the video below:

Smylie Kaufman asked the question by comparing his statistics from the 2018 season with Max Homa's stats from the 2017 season. Kaufman could make only one cut out of the 17 starts he made in 2018. Meanwhile, Homa could record only two cuts from 17 appearances in 2017 and lost his card.
