Homa Fends off major winners for first PGA title
American Max Homa won his first US PGA title by holding off major winners Justin Rose and Jason Dufner to capture the Wells Fargo Championship by three strokes. Homa fired a four-under par 67 at Quail Hollow to finish 72 holes at 15-under 269 on the Charlotte, North Carolina, layout.
The world number 417's best prior US PGA finish came when he took a share of sixth at the 2015 Sony Open in Hawaii. Homa twice lost his playing rights on the US PGA Tour, making just two cuts in 17 events in the 2016- 17 campaign only to earn his way back again for this season and now secure his spot for years to come.
"Over the moon," Homa said of his feelings. "I have some serious scar tissue from out here. Job security is great man. I haven't had that before."
