AUGUSTA, Ga. — For the unacquainted, his solemn, intense energy can be unnerving, uncomfortable even. Most tour pros carry themselves in a similar manner, but it’s not what you expect from Max Homa. He’s the funny guy, the goofy guy, the guy who can give as much as he can take. That’s not this guy, who’s tearing his glove off with his teeth, ignoring the calls of his name by the many who surround his group. Who’s staring a hole through the ground as he walks with a hurried soberness. Homa has the seriousness of a substitute teacher, anticipating the nonsense his presence seemingly welcomes but having none of it.
