The drama-filled PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines this week finally came to an end. From Jon Rahm rapidly climbing through the ranks to Sam Ryder aiming for a wire-to-wire win, the event was certainly full of excitement. But none compare to Max Homa grabbing a win against tight odds. This wasn’t the champion’s first win on the tour, but it was one of his most memorable.

Since turning pro in 2013, Homa has won six times on the PGA Tour, including twice this season alone. His last win came less than two months before his son was born, and now he has another.
