00:00Um flipping over to the PGA Tour where they're playing the

00:09last event before the President's Cup at the end of

00:11September. The Pro Core Championship out in Napa. A lot

00:14of names to pay attention to over there that are part of

00:17both the American and the international team uh in 2

00:20weeks and so Minwuli card around a four under uh to get

00:25things started uh on the international side of course

00:27he's tied for ninth uh to hit the gala at three under tied

00:31for 22nd. You have Wyndham Clark at two under as well as

00:35Mackenzie Hughes also at two under tied for 38th and then

00:40Corey Connors uh on the wrong side of par uh one over round

00:44that has him tied for ninety-eight. The guy I wanna

00:46key on here Max Homa tied for fifty-thirds. We're recording

00:50this who Carter uh one under round to get things going on

00:52Thursday. Uh Max is a guy that has been arguably the best

00:57American performer the last two times out in Ryder Cups or

01:00President's Cups. In a losing effort in Rome, Max was three

01:04one and one uh crucial singles win on Sunday uh at the the

01:09President's Cup at Quail Hollow in Charlotte. He did not lose a

01:12single match. Did not tie a single match. Four and oh. Uh

01:15and and was you know just uh solid as a rock for the

01:18Americans. So it's a guy that coming into this President Cup

01:21you'd say hey he has to be a lock. There's no chance he he

01:24can't make this team. Well, Max's form the latter half of

01:28the season really for most of the season has been less than

01:31his standards. He'd probably be the first person to tell you

01:33that. Uh and most recently, it's been a struggle off the

01:36tee. Uh looking at the B and W Championship stats, he he was

01:40last in the field in strokes game off the tee and and close

01:44to the top of the field and strokes game approach which

01:47just illustrates what a disparities had between the

01:50rest of his game and just trying to kinda get the ball

01:52in fairway and in place so he can gain strokes and and and

01:55you know be in play in a tournament. So, looking at his

01:58stats after the first round, he's actually positive in

02:00strokes games off the tee which bodes well, bodes well for him

02:02uh as he kinda heads into the rest of the week. Uh lost

02:05strokes approach, lost strokes putting, both something worth

02:09keeping an eye on but I think for me, if you're looking at

02:13Max's game and who you're potentially gonna pair him

02:15with, he paired well with Brian Harmon in Rome, a match play

02:18dog who is just a great player out of Georgia. Uh I'm looking

02:22for guys that are gonna be consistent who are gonna hit

02:25fairways that are gonna be, you know, steady if he's gonna

02:28lose it off the tee and and a better ball format but also an

02:31all shot format. If if Brian Harmon's putting him in play

02:34and he can gain strokes there, that's gonna be a good recipe.

02:37So, look out for Max Homa as you tune into the Pro Court

02:40Championship in Napa this week and looking forward to the

02:42President's Cup uh in 2 weeks.
