Max Homa ready to embrace haggis and black pudding

The four-time PGA Tour winner will get his first competitive round in Scotland underway this afternoon, and he told bunkered.co.uk that he’s relishing the opportunity to play here.

“Scotland has been great,” he said. “I’m going to try and enjoy almost everything I can while I’m here, especially the food. I’ve got to try haggis, and about 100 people have told me to try black pudding too, so I’ll give that a whirl.”

The California native said he isn’t used to typical links golf conditions, but believes the challenges presented will suit his game.

“Links golf is tricky. It’s tough hitting wedge shots when the ground is so firm under the ball. It’s going to take a lot of practice to get used to it, but I love links golf.

“I was chipping with a 3-wood in my practice round. You can hit almost any club most of the time, I think that’s most of the fun of it.

“Obviously, I need to get used to the golf course and maybe playing the ball along the ground a bit more, but I think my game should fit nicely.”
