Justin Thomas had a remarkable turnaround at The Players Championship, going from a rough start on Thursday to tying the course record with a 10-under 62 in the second round.
Despite a slip-up on the 18th hole, where he bogeyed after hitting his approach shot into the water, Thomas showcased incredible resilience and skill throughout the round. His 11-birdie performance was a stark contrast to his opening-round 78, marking a 16-shot improvement over the first two days – the biggest jump in the tournament’s history.
Reflecting on his mindset during the round, Thomas expressed his focus on staying present and not letting past mistakes affect his performance. He emphasized the importance of maintaining composure and concentration, which ultimately led to his impressive comeback.
While Thomas may be trailing the leaders going into the weekend, he is content with his position and proud of his ability to stay grounded amidst the challenges on the course. With his track record of success on the PGA Tour, Thomas remains optimistic about his performance in future tournaments.
