Even before the start of the season, Justin Thomas pointed out that he enters this year with huge ambitions and the desire to record great results. The American confirmed this with an excellent performance at the American Express, where he finished two strokes behind the winner Sepp Straka.
In addition, the 31-year-old golfer entered the history of this competition, becoming the 11th player in the history of the PGA Tour to earn more than 60 million dollars during his career.
Justin has the right to be proud of himself and the feats he has made during his career, considering that he occupies the 11th place on the list, and in front of him are some really big names in the world of golf.
In first place, as expected, is the undisputed Tiger Woods with 121 million dollars. After him there is Rory McIlroy, with 91 million dollars, and Scottie Scheffler is interestingly in third place with 72 million dollars.
The American golfer has a good chance to move up the list, given the Signature Events.
Knowing his qualities, we have no doubt that Thomas can progress this year by at least a few places.
Justin Thomas reacts to his performance
Looking back on the performance at American Express, the 31-year-old is aware that he could have celebrated, but he is delighted with how he played. Despite some mistakes, this tournament brought many positive things for him.
I had a chance. It wasnt obviously a great one on the back nine, but I was proud of myself, I did what I needed to do on the front nine today and at least be making some noise and kind of moving up the leaderboard, Thomas said, as qutoed by SB Nation.
Obviously it was unfortunate to kind of stall there after 11, really, really played some great golf today, hit some really good shots, made some great putts and hit some great putts too that didnt go in... I feel like I managed everything really well and got it around well, only two bogeys all week, but, yeah, in a place like this you got to be pretty sharp all around, and Ill just keep building.
