Fans react to Max Homa's casual reaction after hitting second PGA Tour career ace
Max Homa's second ace on the PGA Tour came about one year after his first ace, which came in the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational. In that event, he shot a hole-in-one at the par-3 14th.
When he hit the shot at Detroit Golf Club, Homa somehow knew that the ball would dunk into the hole. He just bent down to take his tee and then casually waved his hand with a cheeky smile on his face.
Fans were delighted by Max Homa's reaction. One of them even wrote that the golfer acted like it was nothing,

However, some of the fans were frustrated with the broadcasting partner's not showing Max Homa's incredible play and Rickie Fowlers' game on their platform. Here are some top comments that were in criticism of the media partners of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic:
@PGATOUR @RocketClassic #pgatour is up to it’s tv shenanigans. How can I watch today (online & tv ) since tee times were moved up. No more Peacock. This league is so messed up I cannot care anymore and there is no way to navigate., esp. with last minute changes And it will be worse after the merger.
@PGATOUR @maxhoma23 @RocketClassic But how can we watch it now? This is bullshit @PGATOUR
@PGATOUR @maxhoma23 @RocketClassic How can we watch Fowlers group? I can watch Homa’s group and Bradley’s group on ESPN+ but can’t watch the leaders? 🤔🤔🤔
@PGATOUR @maxhoma23 @RocketClassic I have Hulu Live, ESPN +, Peacock, and everything else imaginable. How in 2023 can I not watch golf on Sunday morning? It’s absolutely unbelievable how you shit on fans week after week.
