(Reuters) - The days of Max Homa feeling an impostor on the PGA Tour are history after he held his nerve during an hour-long rain delay before closing out an emphatic three-stroke victory at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday.

Long-shot Homa silenced a battalion of big guns, proving remarkably steady under pressure as he shot a four-under-par 67 at Quail Hollow to clinch his first victory on the PGA Tour in his 69th career start.
