If you’ve ever had your swing roasted by Max Homa on Twitter, you know what it's like to get absolutely pwned. It’s a helpless feeling, as Homa’s loyal following begins retweeting, favoriting, and commenting away at your pathetic swing and your equally pathetic existence.
Now that Homa is a PGA Tour winner, there’s not much ammo for you to use in a reply. All you can do is sit back and take it.
That was until Friday morning at the 3M Open, when Homa’s roastees nearly got their revenge with the help of a rogue umbrella. Gusty conditions at TPC Twin Cities have made the second round a bit more difficult, and dangerous, on the competitors. Don’t believe us? Watch as Homa cheats death when a massive umbrella blows onto the first tee box as he prepares to hit his drive:
OK, cheats death may have been strong, but if you’ve ever been at the beach on a windy day, you know flying umbrellas are nothing to mess around with. Good thing Homa’s spidey senses were tingling at the right moment.
This turned out to be a bad omen for the 29-year-old. Six holes later, he made a round-killing double bogey at the par-4 seventh. He did finish his round with a walk-in birdie on his final hole, carding a one-over 72 to safely make the weekend at five under.
