Max Homa Carries His Own Bag at US Open Qualifier After Split with Caddie, Falls Short of Earning Spot
- Max Homa carried his own bag and competed in a U.S. Open qualifier on June 2, 2025, at Kinsale Golf Club in Columbus, Ohio.
- Homa and his caddie Bill Harke ended their two-month working relationship before the qualifier, leading Homa to carry his own bag.
- On his 36th hole at Kinsale, Homa three-putted for par, resulting in a five-way playoff for one of six available qualifying positions to next week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont.
- Cameron Young secured the playoff victory with a 12-foot birdie, while Homa finished at 5-under 139 and expressed a preference to focus on his performance rather than the ongoing discussions about his caddie.
- Although Homa missed the playoff spot, he remains eligible for the U.S. Open as an alternate and indicated carrying his own bag was a positive experience despite the challenging situation.
