00:00Let's talk about Homa and then we'll get your picks after the break because he's had a miserable,

00:08let's call it four months, five months, I guess, Keith, because he wasn't bad January,

00:12February, March.

00:13I feel like around the Masters when he finished third, ever since then, it's been abysmal

00:18for Max, but he's coming back to a place where he's won twice and he's playing in the President's

00:24Cup in two weeks.

00:25Refocus for Max at a place that he knows very well could help him.

00:29I mean, he's definitely going to need it.

00:31The driver has just absolutely escaped him all summer.

00:35And you know, I saw it firsthand at the St. Jude.

00:37I saw it again in Denver and then I didn't see it at the Tour Championship.

00:41And Max should be in that top 30, especially as somebody who's representing the US as the

00:45top 12 players going into Royal Montreal in two weeks.

00:49And the fact of the matter is all those struggles with the driver have leaked into other parts

00:53of his game.

00:54He is no longer the really solid iron player that he was.

00:57He is not making the putts that we expect Max in order to cash in on that gave him the

01:02back to back wins here in twenty one and twenty two.

01:05So, you know, Max, he let go of his longtime teacher, Mark Blackburn, that helped him create

01:09all of that success during the playoff run.

01:12He's now working with Dana Dahlquist.

01:13He's got a new instructor and he's got to be looking ahead two weeks sure that as one

01:18of those 12 guys on the US side, there's no place to hide.

01:21You can hide amongst 143 other guys here, but you cannot hide when you go to the President's

01:26Club.

01:27He's got to get his game in order.

01:28This would be the right place to do it, but I'm going to pause on him and see what happens

01:31at the President's Cup.
