Max Homa reveals his preferred Ryder Cup teammate: "We'd be so annoying"
Team USA's Max Homa has revealed the PGA Tour superstar he desperately wants to be paired with at the forthcoming Ryder Cup.
Max Homa has revealed his desire to be paired with Collin Morikawa at the forthcoming Ryder Cup.
Homa qualified automatically for Zach Johnson's team and will be one of four rookies in Rome.
He already has experience representing the U.S. in team golf, having been part of Davis Love III's successful 2022 Presidents Cup team.
There, he played alongside Tony Finau and Billy Horschel and his passion for team golf was evident.
It was anticipated that even if Homa didn't automatically qualify for the side he would be one of Johnson's picks.
One of Johnson's vice captains, Fred Couples, stated unequivocally Homa and Cameron Young would get the nod.
But awkwardly, Young was left out leaving egg on Couples' face. Johnson said the comment was 'in jest'.
As for Homa, he believes that he and Morikawa would make a 'annoying' duo to play against.
"We were actually talking about it yesterday, I haven't been told anything yet so I have no secrets," Homa told Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio.
