Homa has been having a tough time this year with 16 events played and only 1 top 25 finish. This time he has a shot at the John Deere Classic trophy. He opened up about his feelings during a press conference on Friday.
But alongside his sentiments, he made a surprising revelation about his wife, Lacey Homa, and fellow PGA Tour golfer Rickie Fowler. They go way back to high school, and Fowler used to give Lacey rides to school.
"They used to live by each other. They've known each other forever. He's in her older brother's yearbook, so it's kind of funny. Small world." Homa revealed.

"I'm super lucky to have a group like that. Two of my closest buddies out here." Homa said. "I've known Rick and Jake forever. So three SoCal guys in the same group and everybody started making a lot birdies, so that was fun."
Homa is eyeing the trophy this time around. This is his best 36-hole performance this year.
"It's definitely the best 36 holes off the tee I've had in a while consecutively, so that's nice. I'm just trying keep getting better every day," he said on Friday.
"I don't particularly worry about what place I'm in on the leaderboard. If I'm up near it on Sunday, that's when you start to think a little bit and game plan."
