Max Homa, among those grinding at final qualifying for U.S. Open, is carrying his own bag
Max Homa is going old school. One of the 66 golfers vying for one of the six spots at final qualfying for the U.S. Open, Homa was seen carrying his bag at Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club in Columbus, Ohio. You love to see it. This particular qualifier is conducted by the Ohio Golf Association and Homa could have his caddie there with him, but he's choosing to walk it with a stand bag slung over his back for the 36-hole grind. Advertisement Homa shot a 3-under 69 on this first 18 and has an afternoon tee time of 1:20 p.m. local time to improve his standing. He's tied for sixth, five shots back of the 8-under 64 posted by Erik van Rooyen. If Homa is tied for sixth after 36 holes, there will be a playoff, as only the to six, not the top six and ties, advance. Max Homa watches his shot from the fairway on the ninth hole during the third round of the 2025 Memorial Tournament. A few days ago at the Memorial, Homa was asked about U.S. Open qualifying. "I never play well in the U.S. Open anyway," he said, "so, if I don't get in it's all good. I just wanted to play because now that I'm a dad I would like to win or something on a Father's Day. But if not I'll just hang out with my son and it will be a great day." This article originally appeared on Golfweek: U.S. Open 2025 final qualifying: Max Homa carrying own golf bag
