'Killed my joke' - Max Homa blasts 'selfish' Rob McElhenney after being surprised by Wrexham owner's 'tasty' golf skills at Farmers Insurance Open

McElhenney was one of many celebrities - including USWNT star Alex Morgan - to put their golf skills to the test at the Farmers Insurance Open Pro-Am. On Tuesday the Wrexham co-owner played 18 holes, nine with world number seven Max Homa and fellow American golfer Sam Ryder. The actor impressed Homa, even if he did ruin his joke.

Asked about McElhenney's swing, Homa said: "I wanted him to hit a bad one because I had a joke in my head and I was going to say 'the Gang gets the shanks' but he hit them all really good and killed my joke. Selfish!"

While a lot of his time is taken up by acting and running Wrexham alongside Ryan Reynolds, McElhenney has been keeping his golf skills sharp. After meeting him at the Pro-Am event, former PGA Tour golfer Gary Christian tweeted about McElhenney: "Got to catch up with the great Rob McElhenney. Passionate about his golf and beloved Wrexham. Truly great, genuine guy who gets what it is to be a fan first and what teams mean to their cities and towns. Tasty golfer as well!"

McElhenney will turn his attention back to Wrexham with a huge FA Cup clash against Championship side Blackburn coming up on Monday, although the match hasn't been chosen for TV broadcast.
