PGA Tour winner Michael S. Kim shared an interesting story featuring Max Homa about alignment in golf. The American is known for his active presence on social media. He often shares posts giving valuable golf tips to the fans.

Recently, Michael S. Kim shared his opinion about alignment in golf. In his post on X, the American golfer reflected on how alignment in golf is important to take a perfect shot. He explained his point by sharing the story of Max Homa.

The 2018 John Deere Classic winner revealed that while he was playing with Homa at the Jones Cup, the 34-year-old was struggling with his game. On one par-3 hole, Kim noticed that Homa was aiming 20 yards right of the pin, which had affected his game during the tournament. He guided the 6x PGA Tour winner, and as a result, Homa found an aiming point. Sharing the story, Kim wrote:

"Quick story: Max Homa and I were at the Jones Cup and he wasn’t hitting it very well. He was talking to his coach taking videos but couldn’t figure it out. On a par 3, I randomly stood behind him and noticed he was aiming 20 yards right of the pin and hit it right there. He was unhappy with the shot and I told him he was actually aimed over there.
"Next shot, he found an aiming point a yard in front, looked up and said OMG haha To him, it looked like he was aimed 20 yards left of the pin, to the middle of the lake. It’s interesting that our eyes can adjust to what we think we’re aiming at," he added.

Notably, Kim actively shares posts on his social media handle. He has around 132.2K followers on the platform.
