Max Homa is known as one of the good guys on the PGA Tour and, at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, he brought the surrounding crowds into raptures, with a hole-in-one on the par 3 15th, his second on the PGA Tour.
Starting his final round, Homa was -10 and well back of overnight leader Rickie Fowler. However, three birdies in his first five holes moved him up the leaderboard, before a bogey at the sixth and a birdie at the eighth kept him at three-under-par going into the back nine.
A bogey at the 13th followed, but Homa then made an incredible shot at the par 3 15th, with his 140-yard tee shot pitching just past the hole and spinning into the centre of the cup for the first hole-in-one of the week.
After the ball had dropped, Homa didn't seem too phased, as he calmly flicked his wrist and high-fived his playing partners. Not only did the ace move him to four-under for the day and -14 for the tournament, but it also moved him inside the top-25 as he faced his final few holes of the round.
