Max Homa, 10 comebacks despite a rare 62, joins the chorus of growing frustration in Tour Championship format
ATLANTA – Events New England Patriots didn’t start the Super Bowl with a 14-point lead. Alabama there is no 10 point advantage at the start in college football national championship game. The golden empire warriors didn’t start the NBA Finals with a 15-point cushion.
PGA Tour Player Max Homa wondered if the FedEx Cup Playoffs lead should be two shots ahead of the others before the first tee shot was taken in the season-ending Touring Championship.
“Yeah, I don’t know,” Homa said Friday, about the incredible scoring system, which the PGA Tour uses only at the Tour Championship. “We talk a lot about it. I listen to a lot of things [media] talk about it. I said this recently. I don’t think it’s perfect. I don’t know what the answer is, so I won’t complain about it. “
“I think we’re not football, we’re not basketball, we’re not baseball. Just because the Patriots are unbeaten we need to start them with a two-touch lead? Because it feels like like that year they should have won the Super Bowl; they didn’t. It’s football, but golf is different.”
Homa’s comments come after he posted his second-lowest round ever at the Tour Championship on Friday, a no-nonsense 62 that’s still 10 times behind the leader. Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler, as the FedEx Cup points leader, started the Tour Championship in under-10, at least two shots ahead of the others.
Xander Schauffele. hole 18 par-5 at East Lake Golf Club. Schauffele is still two shots behind Scheffler after 36 holes.
Without a starting shot, Schauffele would be 11th bottom after 36 holes, of Spain Jon Rahm at 10 years old and Scheffler at 9 years old.
Instead, Scheffler is 19 years younger after 36 holes and 2 more than Schauffele and 6 ahead of Rahm.
“I mean, that’s more possible, but he’s good at golf, isn’t he?” Rahm talks about Scheffler. “And we’re also going to have to go on and play good golf. I’m going to take a really strong weekend and hopefully not a strong weekend from Scottie. That’s what we’re looking for. “
