Two people we have highlighted on these pages in the past: Daniel Berger and Max Homa kept it together and won a couple of the notable tournaments on the 2021 schedule.
Homa’s win at Riviera Country Club was particularly instructive, as he missed a 3 foot putt on 18 that would have won the event, only to make an incredible recovery on the first playoff hole after his tee shot came to rest next to a tree trunk. Most people watching assumed Homa had effectively lost the tournament but he managed to hit a great 2nd shot and then two-putted to extend the match with Tony Finau, who had things in his hands before spotty putting sunk him.
Berger had an easier go of it and he was terrific when it mattered most, hitting a beautiful 2nd shot onto 18 during the final round, which he would go on to lock up with an eagle and a 2 shot margin of victory.
