Max Homa clapped back with a solid reply to fans trying to troll him for his golf career. The American golfer, who has 683K followers on X, is widely known for his active presence on social media.
Fans recently tried to troll Homa, and the PGA Tour player shut them down with his response. On October 31, the 33-year-old shared a post about his lost AirPod. He wrote:
"Lost my AirPods a couple weeks ago and haven’t had time to get new ones. I’ve had to workout and practice with no music or podcast to distract me. To my surprise, there’s been a lot of benefits. A thread."
However, a fan in the comment section took a jibe at the golfer, writing:
"Shut up and win a major."
Homa was quick to reply to the fan, saying:
"I’m trying, dog."
Meanwhile, another fan commented:
"Trying to win a major or trying to shut up?"
To which, Homa replied:
"Actually both"
