“Even the savages have rules” - Max Homa shares his highlights from the 2024 WM Phoenix Open

Max Homa recently took to social media to discuss his recent outing at the 2024 WM Phoenix Open. Homa struggled with his game at the tournament and missed the cut following the two rounds. As the American made his way home, he opened up about his outing at the TPC Sawgrass.

The tournament started on Thursday, February 8 but was delayed because of foul weather. The second round was completed on Saturday, February 10 and only 73 golfers could make the cut in the tournament.

Homa took to X (formerly Twitter) on February 11 to speak about the recently concluded tournament. He discussed an incident from the first round of the game when fans booed group member Jordan Spieth for making a bogey on the 16th hole. Homa wrote:

"Highlight of the fans from the week: Thursday on 16 Spieth made a bogey and a group of dudes chanted “overrated”. Within 3 seconds the rest of the crowd started to boo them for the blasphemy. Even the savages have rules."

Homa played the first two rounds with Jordan Spieth and Brian Harman. Interestingly, both Harman and Spieth made the cut in the tournament but Homa settled two strokes behind the cutline of under par 2.

The American had trouble in both rounds of the 2024 WM Phoenix Open. He started the tournament on Thursday, February 8, on the tenth hole. He made a birdie on the 11th and then a bogey on the 18th. He shot two more bogeys in the opening round and settled for a score of 2-over par 73.

In the second round of the tournament, Homa made two birdies and scored 2-under-par 69. He finished with a total of even par 142, missing the cut by two strokes.
