Max Homa makes a hole, but Kevin Kisner doesn’t take off his jersey – yet

Max Homa makes a hole, but Kevin Kisner doesn’t take off his jersey – yet

MONTREAL – At last month’s Solheim Cup, Megan Khang’s caddy offered a bet if either player made it off the green during their four-ball match on Saturday at Robert Trent Golf Club Jones.

When Khang’s partner, Alison Lee, holed an 86-yarder on the second hole of the team’s match against Anna Nordqvist and Madelene Sagstrom, the two American cadets took off their shirts in celebration, prompting Max Homa to answer on X, formerly Twitter.

“Remove the tarpaulins!!! Let’s go (US Solheim Cup team),” he posted, prompting another challenge from Kevin Kisner, this week’s Presidents Cup alternate captain.

“I’ll do this in Montreal if you do one!” Book it!” Kisner tweeted.

Homa responded early Sunday at Royal Montreal with a 102-yard wedge shot on the first hole that landed just past the cup and came back in the hole for an eagle and a 1-up lead over Mackenzie Hughes.

NBC Sports reporter Smylie Kaufman found Kisner on the course shortly after the hole.

“Motivation is an incredible thing and I think Max took it to heart,” Kisner laughed. “He shouted to each captain: ‘Where is Kiz?’ So, I hid here, on the back nine.

Kisner hasn’t committed to honoring his bet with Homa, but with Team USA needing just 4 ½ points out of 12 in singles play Sunday to win the Presidents Cup, there’s a good chance the party postgame includes another shirtless celebration.
