TWICE AS NICE FOR HOMA AT WELLS FARGO Forgive Max Homa if he was a little emotional Sunday.

On Sunday, Homa battled the cold, wet conditions better than anyone in the field and finished with a final-round, 2-under 68 to win by two shots over Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young and Keegan Bradley. Homa moved up 14 spots to No. 6 in the FedExCup standings after picking up 500 points. “Sometimes my life feels too good to be true and this is one of those cases,” Homa said.
