Quotes
 
“That was crazy," Homa said after successfully defending Fortinet Championship in 2022.
 
"I still don’t really know what happened. Just kind of one of those weekends you just had to hang around.
 
“Today I hit it well, kept it around the hole where it needed to be, I just couldn’t get the ball to go to its home. On 18 it decided to go home quickly, so that was quite a nice bonus.”
