DAY THREE ACTION Max’s writing new chapter at Augusta
MAX HOMA wants to make his own Masters memories for his journal after being backed to win his first Major by Tiger Woods. The World No.11 “religiously” writes down his “mental goals” and thoughts every day.
“It’s one thing to think it but when you write it down, it becomes a bit more tangible,” said the

Homa has been more focused on watching playing partner Woods make his record 24th consecutive cut at the Masters

“So it’s actually quite easy. It was awesome. It really is a dream to get to play with Tiger here. He’s special.
“I’m very fortunate. I have a wife that does not let me gloat and have friends back at the house that will just want to hear about what Tiger did today.
“So I’m surrounded by some awesome people.”
