PGA Tour golfer Max Homa has confirmed his wife Lacey has given birth.
The six-time PGA Tour winner revealed before the 3M Open they were expecting their second bundle of joy.
Homa, 34, joked he really needed a win because his wife was heavily pregnant and he needed to go home.
The couple welcomed their first son Cam into the world in October 2022. And now Austin has joined the family.
The golfer shared the personal news with an emotional post on his Instagram page on 8 August.
“My wife is a rockstar and Austin is very unsure of Cam (rightfully so),” he wrote. “Our hearts are so full.”
Homa’s post included several pictures of the infant, along with a video of Lacey leaving the hospital with Austin in her arms.
The couple, who met online in 2013, tied the knot in 2019.

A season to forget for Max Homa
Homa has endured a terrible season on the PGA Tour.
The golfer began the year by announcing he had switched coaches and also changed equipment manufacturer.
Homa had always been a Titleist staffer but opted to sign a multi-year endorsement deal with Cobra Puma Golf.
The golfer was previously inside the top 10 of the OWGR but has now slipped to 116th after missing eight cuts this year.
The dip in form led to him parting ways with his long-time caddie Joe Greiner so the pair could preserve their friendship.
Greiner initially found a new home with Collin Morikawa, but that partnership lasted only last six events.
Ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Greiner confirmed he was working with Jake Knapp.
As for Homa, his best result this year was a tied second at the John Deere Classic.

The poor form is particularly difficult to fathom, given he was a standout performer of the 2023 US Ryder Cup team and was widely regarded as a player to watch in the major championships.
He has little hope now of making his second appearance in the biennial contest.
Homa also missed out on the FedEx Cup playoffs, finishing 111th in the standings. Only the top 70 in the standings make it to the postseason.
“I know how hard I work,” Homa previously said of his struggles. “I know how much I care. So it just feels more just s—– for myself, like internally.
“I know people probably love this and some people probably hate it for me, but people like to laugh when people aren’t doing well. I would laugh at that, because I just don’t know what more I could be doing at the moment.
“It’s actually easier to deal with what I think people might think because it seems so silly because they’re not sitting on the range with me for X amount of hours.”
