Homa clearly did put Lasorda's advice to good use. After missing 15 of 17 cuts on the PGA Tour in 2017, the 28-year-old from Burbank, Ca., returned to the Web.com Tour in the hopes of regaining his PGA Tour card. After a lackluster season, it appeared that dream would be dead at the WinCo Foods Portland Open, where Homa was in grave danger of missing the cut late in the second round. In order to make the Web.com Tour finals, Homa needed to make the weekend in Portland, and he did thanks to four birdies to close out his round. He went on to finish T-21, T-6 and 7th in his next three finals events, enough to secure a return to the PGA Tour.
