Max Homa’s goal for the year was to make the US team for the first time and on Friday, after two tied matches, he and Billy Horschel went the distance and birdied the final two holes to win their match against Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith.
MAX HOMA FOR THE WIN!

“This is insane,” said Homa. “To come down to the 18th two days in a row, man, what a day. Billy made some amazing putts. I just wanted to help him.
“It’s surreal to have 10 of the best golfers I’ve ever seen in my life watching you and you’ve got to help them. It’s a heavy weight. But it’s also really fun.”
The Americans again finished the day with a 4-1 result and go into a double session on Saturday needing to win seven matches and halve the others to retain the cup.
