Why Justin Thomas’ ‘p*ssed off’ 62 felt so important

Justin Thomas’ emotional 62 propelled him to contend at the PGA Championship, giving him a shot at a second major title. The round was particularly satisfying for Thomas, who was determined to prove his ability on the biggest stage.

Thomas arrived at the PGA with a point to prove after a disappointing Masters performance. He admitted to feeling “p*ssed off” after that event, and used that anger as fuel to dominate the course in Tulsa.

The 29-year-old fired eight birdies and an eagle in a bogey-free round, putting him just two shots off the lead heading into the final round. Thomas’ performance was a testament to his resilience and determination, and has given him a chance to make history on home soil.
