Max Homa is among several big names that do not respect the exemptions from the US Open from 2025 to Oakmont, leaving its most oak fate on Monday to a qualifier in Ohio.
Nicknamed the “longest day” of Golf, Homa was one of the many golfers, including Rickie Fowler, Cameron Young, Bud Cauley, Jake Knapp, Padraig Harrington and Adam Hadwin who are trying to qualify for Oakmont in 10 different places across the country.
Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club housed six of the qualification sites, and the golfers were in two laps on Monday. But on his 36th hole, a three shots put Homa in a five -men qualifiers, with Fowler, Young, Eric Cole and Chase Johnson. Young caught the last place with a birdie on the hole 38.

But Homa was by his lonely throughout the day, because he and his two -month shopping cart, Bill Harke, are no longer together, according to a person informed of the split who only said that Harke “had lost his job”.
So Homa wore his own bag for the 38 holes.
“I prefer to talk about the golf course instead of all the questions about the shopping cart,” said Homa. “I’m fine. I just did it 36 years.”
But apparently, he didn’t seem to care.

“It seems to be better than when someone stands next to me for any reason,” he said. “Maybe I should walk alone.
As for golf?
“It’s probably going to be heartbreaking, but it’s okay,” said Homa. “I haven’t transported my 36 -hole bag for a while, so I’m a little tired.”
Homa is not entirely out of the United States Open. He plays Canada Open this week, although he should probably win to enter the top 60 and qualify.
The Masters was the first fact of Homa since the open championship last year, and it finished T12 in Augusta. But since then, he has finished 70th, T30, T60 and T51. Last year, it was ranked 10th in the world.

Somewhat ironically, Fowler qualified for the open championship of this year with a top 10 in Memorial on Sunday.
