Max Homa gave some respect to J.T. Poston after he put more than a quarter million dollars at risk at the 3M Open.
J.T. Poston had a very minor chance at tying Lee Hodges Sunday at the 3M Open. Instead, his 72nd-hole gamble turned into a triple bogey and cost him more than a quarter million dollars.
A lot of people might criticize Poston’s decision on 18, but not fan favorite Max Homa.
“Can’t respect the play more,” Homa tweeted. “Good on you, boys.” Homa quote-tweeted CBS Sports’ Kyle Porter, who pointed out the massive difference.
