Max Homa details unique Masters experience Tiger Woods has given him

Max Homa has explained his unique Masters experience after playing in the same group as Tiger Woods for the first two days at Augusta and what the golf legend has shown him

Tiger Woods continues to impress, as even his peers were amazed by his form at the Masters on Friday.

Add Max Homa as another one of the golf legend's peers who have been left in awe by his ability, especially after everything he has worked through in recent years. Woods finished the day on one-over-par to make a 24th consecutive cut at Augusta.

Speaking to reporters on Friday after his round, Homa explained what it was like being in the same group as Woods, 48. "It's hard to put into words," the 33-year-old, who is chasing his first major title, said. "You feel the crowd on every shot.

"At times, I just look over and enjoy myself as a fan. He's swinging it great. He looks so much better. It's just awesome to watch."

Homa described being able to play with Woods as something out of a "dream" and will be a moment he comes back to, considering how big of an inspiration Woods is. "It was awesome, man," he added. "It was just a dream to get to play with him here. You know, I've been saying I've always wanted to just watch him hit iron shots around here and I was just right up next to them. It was really cool."

The star also noted how he observed Woods during a particularly windy afternoon and it appeared as if the golf legend was unfazed. "On 18, we got sandblasted for like, 45 seconds, and I turned around five times so I didn't get crushed in the face," Homa recalled.

"And I just look back and he's just standing there like a statue and then poured it right in the middle. So all the cliches you hear about him and all the old stories about how he will grind it out, it's fun to see that in person."

Despite the concerns some might have had with Woods' fitness - especially because this is his first event since withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational - the 48-year-old has generally competed better than what others might have expected him to.

For the 24th consecutive year, Woods made the cut, setting the record for most consecutive cuts made at the Masters. "It means I have a chance going into the weekend," the 15-time Major winner said after his round. "I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I got my two rounds in. I'm right there. I'm tired. I've been out for a while, competing, grinding.

"It's been a long 23 holes, a long day. But (caddie) Lance (Bennett) and I really did some good fighting today, and we've got a chance. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I'll be good to go."

He added: "I've always loved playing here. I've been able to play here since I was 19 years old. It's one of the honors I don't take lightly. The years I have missed, I wish I was able to play because there's such an aura and mystique about playing this golf course that unless you have played and competed here, you probably don't really appreciate."
