PGA Tour star Justin Thomas makes a surprising confession: “I just took it for granted…”

PGA Tour star Justin Thomas admits he “took it for granted” how good he was early in his career when he was trying to get his form in order.

Justin Thomas says he “took it for granted” how good he was during the period when he was winning multiple PGA Tour titles and winning his first major before he turned 25. Thomas enters the Wells Fargo Championship this year with mixed results.

He finished in the top 10 three of his nine starts. He missed three hits.

For some reason, golfers have not become the pillars of stability we are accustomed to. Take, for example, the second round of the 2024 Masters where he seemed assured of qualifying, but inexplicably dropped seven shots over the final four holes to miss the weekend by one and advance the line.

Thomas made some tough decisions to try to turn things around. First, he parted ways with legendary caddy Jim “Bones” McKay.

He told GOLF earlier this week that he also added a new driver, which has already increased his distance off the tee by 10 yards. Justin Thomas

Asked by a reporter at Quail Hollow Golf Club how close he was to the player he was when he won the PGA Championship at Southern Hills two years ago, Thomas said his game was “more refined than it was back then. “I think it’s true,” he said. .

He added, “The key is to put your head in the right place and take action when needed to get better around the golf course.” “I guess I took it for granted over the last few years that I’d do well there.

“I often get into altercations in tournaments if I don’t force issues or make things harder than they need to be. “Like I said, I’m happy with golf, so I wish I could have talked more about it.

“It was actually towards the end of last year, but especially towards the beginning of this year and especially as the year progressed.”

If he wins on this big stage, he will increase his total PGA Tour titles to 16. He had not played on the field for 10 years and was already on a scouting trip.

“I remembered more than I expected,” he said. “There have been no major changes to the event, just a few new T-shirts and a few trees cut down to make the event more spectator friendly.

“I feel like I can see more along the way, which I think is great. But yeah, it was great.

“I mean, I have some pretty interesting memories of Valhalla, and I’m really excited to hopefully leave something of my own behind, but on the other side of the ropes for a change.”
