American golfer Max Homa may not be taking home the winner’s check, but he did get to do some celebrating at Detroit Golf Club.
During the final round of the PGA Tour Rocket Mortgage Classic on Sunday, Homa skied in a hole-in-one on the Par-3 No. 15 from 140 yards away. Homa’s ball traveled 110 mph and landed on the green before rolling into the cup, marking his second ace on tour.
“I missed every seven to 12 footer of the week, so I decided just to aim closer to the hole. It was like a perfect pitching wedge,” Homa said on Sunday. “I made a good swing on it. Couldn’t see it. I’ve made two out here now, couldn’t see either of them, so one day I’d like to see it go in. But it’s cool to hear the roar, especially on that hole, that hole’s awesome. So it was fun.”
Homa added that the excitement of the fans on the hole is quite cool, but emphasized that he still wants to “see the thing go in so I can freak out myself.”
He finished tied for 21st on the leaderboard with a -15 score for the tournament. He shot 69, 68, 69 and 67 through four rounds of play.
Rickie Fowler won the tournament after a three way playoff between himself, Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin after they each shot -24 through four rounds. The win marks Fowler’s first PGA Championship in 1,610 days.
