Max Homa candidly talked about making his first cut of the season at the Masters. The American golfer has had a pretty tough time on the greens this season on the PGA Tour. He played in eight tournaments but struggled in most of them, missing the cut in five and withdrawing from one event.

Moreover, the remaining two events, in which he played the complete four rounds, did not have any cutline. Hence, the Masters is the first event of the season in which he officially made a cut.

In the press conference of the 2025 Masters, Homa reflected on his performance after a tough season. He called it "awesome" while also talking about his swings. He said, via ASAP Sports:

"It's awesome. This has been just not fun at all. Yeah, I don't know. It's been decent. Like I think today and yesterday were similar to how it's been. Like make a lot of really good swings in a row and one weird one.

"I was mostly just proud of -- yesterday played a brilliant first 12 holes and lost my swing, and I feel like I did a better job of like playing the game and fixing it when I'm done."

At the Masters, Max Homa started the campaign with a tough round of 74. In the second round, he bounced back with a round of 70, jumped 24 spots on the leaderboard, and made the cut in the event. With an overall even par score, the American tied for 27th place, heading into the final two rounds.
