Hello world. Welcome back to golf subpar. Colt. Nost and Drew Stoltz. Another week, another

0:16.8

W for us here. Sleezer, man, Max Homa gets the job done at Wells Fargo. Yes. What a

0:21.3

week that was. The rocket ship is going up. I mean, we've been talking about this guy

0:26.4

for a while. We've known about his ball strike and we rave at you and I rave about it all

0:29.8

the time. We get to see it. So we're a little bit biased. But I mean, three wins now in the

0:33.9

past 16 months, four in his career. I think this is probably all it takes to get him on the

0:39.4

president's cup team, which I think he then parlay in the future team events. But it's

0:42.8

just like he's been biting his time. He's, he's, you know, made all these hurdles from

0:46.8

top 100 now to top 50 to top 30. He's trying to get to East Lake. And this is just kind

1:05.8

high on him for a very long time. You know, he's done some great work with Mark Blackburn.

1:10.6

They spent the weekend in Birmingham getting ready for this. I heard his game was in really,

1:14.2

really good shape. He was my pick. He ended up getting the job done. But man, I thought

1:18.5

yesterday I was texting with Mark Blackburn last night. It was the most comfortable I've

1:22.4

seen Max around like he looked relaxed. You know, we see him walk with some, he seems

1:26.2

tense sometimes when he's out there walking. We know him as that laid back fun guy off

1:29.8

the golf course. He's trying to take that more onto the golf course. And yesterday it looked

1:34.0

like he was actually enjoying himself out there and just made so many clutch putts. The

1:38.7

putter was hot yesterday. I'm glad he brought that because like, like I said, we talked
