Justin Thomas won the sixth time on PGA tour, but he felt different on Sunday on Hilton Head Island, SC
“I didn’t realize how bad I was,” he said of the emotions that accompanied the winning of the winning Putt.
Thomas trained a birdie from 6 meters to the first tiebreaker to win the RBC inheritance in the Harbor Town Golf Link, announcing himself a champion of the contest for the first time for almost three years.
Thomas and Andrew Novak, who are seeking his first success on PGA Tour, is 17-under 267 in 72 holes. Novak was in the last match the third time during this time, but could not find a way to win.
Thomas, twice as a ‘primary’ champion, has not won since he took the 2022 PGA championship.
“Winning is difficult. It is very difficult, very difficult,” Thomas said. “I left my skin. I stayed patient. I remained positive.”
Thomas threw 68, ending his bogeys free spin with three consecutive pairs. Novak failed a 2.5 -meter Putt in the last regulation hole and also added 68 blows to the spin.
“I failed to read,” he said.
Thomas was seven times in the playoff in the circuit, and won five of them.
So for Novak this is another close game.
Not much in terms of emotion, “he said.” I’m not disappointed in what I thought. I feel like I’m a lot of good things. … I have to go out there and get a success at some point, but all these ends are great. “
Thomas was headed after the first and second round. On Sunday he advanced to Hole 15 with a putt for Birdie 24 and a half, but Novak was counseling with a birdie from about 17 feet to 16.
“I’m proud to put myself in that position when I really feel like I’m not doing a good swing this week,” Novak said. “The fact that I was able to scratch almost a success without really doing my best swing.”
Daniel Berger (65 on Sunday), Brian Harman (69), Maverick McNealy (70) and Canadian Mackenzie Hughes (67) tied to the third place with 14 under the PAR. The English Tommy Fleetwood (70) is seventh May 13 under the PAR.
“I just failed a few swings in the last nine holes,” Harman said. “If I had four or five swings back to the contest, I think it would be there.”
Hughes said the result of the top 10 could be of benefit to the general scenario.
“Having a result like this and doing it when I know the points will be boosting (in the updated tour system), it’s huge to me,” Hughes said.
Scottie Scheffler, title defender, climbed into three birdies positions in a five-hole stretch up to a double-bogey 7 in hole 15 and a Bogey at 17 condemned their rotation. With 70 blows, he was tied to the eighth position with Russell Henley (70) and head of the third round, South Korea Kung Woo Kim (74), with 12 under the PAR.
Scheffler, currently number 1 in the world, still hasn’t won a championship this year.
“I just need a few more blows, which no doubt for me,” Scheffler said.
Kim went 2 up to 12 holes and her problems went on with a double-bogey 5 in hole 14.
Bud Cauley’s 64 is the best result of the final twist. By 7 under the PAR, he was tied to the 32th position.
