In case you needed a rooting interest today, here's Max Homa with one of the greatest 4 minutes in our podcast history. Missed 15 of 17 cuts in 2017, but kept saying "today's the day." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Loved this from Max Homa after his round. "If I catch myself thinking about what could go wrong, I let myself dream of what could go right." #themasters
