2022 Charles Schwab Challenge: Top 10 power rankings at Colonial

Max Homa is having a career season. He’s already twice a winner on the PGA Tour in the 2021-22 campaign with victories last fall at the Fortinet Championship and again a few weeks ago at the Wells Fargo Championship.

The four-time career winner couldn’t make it two in a row last week at the PGA Championship, but Homa made his seventh straight stroke-play cut with a T-13th finish at Southern Hills.

It was his best finish in 11 major championship starts.

Homa’s resume at the Charles Schwab Challenge isn’t great.

Although he didn’t play it last year and his missed cuts in three starts were in 2015 as a young pro and in 2020 in the first event back after the pandemic delay. Homa earned T-27th in 2019.

Homa ranks 11th on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained (1.492).

He’s 26th or higher in every category except for around the green. Ironically, he’s first in scrambling from 30-plus yards at 50%.

He can still be a bit of a streaky player, but Homa’s growing more consistent.

He’s a California native, but he’s beginning to feel at home wherever he goes on tour. The Texas galleries are likely to treat him like one of their own, especially if he’s in the mix on Sunday.

“I guess it just keeps me confident knowing that some people are coming out here actually to watch me,” Homa was transcribed by ASAP Sports last week. “I think that means I’m doing something right, and I try to use that as a bit of a confidence boost when I play.”

Homa’s made it clear that qualifying for the American Presidents Cup team is a high priority. He represented the red, white and blue in the Walker Cup, but he’s eager to do so as a pro.

Homa’s seventh in points with less than three months left to try to earn one of the eight automatic qualifiers. On a week where many of his competitors in that race might be resting or mailing it in the week after a major, Homa can make some hay by grinding out another good week in the DFW.
