Max Homa's Masters Curse: 3 Top-12 Finishes in a Row, Still Can't Win the Week After
Max Homa has cracked the Masters code. Three straight years finishing inside the top 12 at Augusta National, back-to-back performances that would make most golfers on tour jealous. But here's the problem: the moment he leaves Georgia, something breaks.
The RBC Heritage rolls around the following week, and Homa suddenly looks like a different player. You'd think a guy riding high off a strong Masters showing would carry that momentum straight into Hilton Head. Nope. It's been surprisingly tough sledding for him at that particular event.

Coming off his third straight top-12 result at Augusta, Homa should be one of the favorites heading into RBC Heritage week. The facts are there: consistency at the game's toughest test, three weeks in a row proving he can hang with the best. But something about the transition from Masters week to the Heritage doesn't click for him.
The golf world is watching to see if this is the year Homa finally figures out how to channel all that Augusta success into a big performance on the Lowcountry course.
The Week Ahead
Homa gets another crack at it. If he's going to break through and prove those Masters finishes mean something for the rest of his season, RBC Heritage is where it starts.
