PGA Tour Pros Mess With Justin Thomas on Twitter Over Club Toss
By Michael Shamburger
Justin Thomas entered the final round of the WGC-Mexico Championship with a one-stroke lead. Thomas’s fourth round started off with a birdie, but then he made a few mistakes and over the next seven holes made three bogeys and a double bogey. During that stretch of bad holes the 23-year-old lost his cool several times.
On the par-5 11th hole, Thomas let go of the club and it not only sailed towards the spectators behind him, but lined up perfectly with the Protracer line.
This caught the attention of his fellow pros who took to Twitter to mess with him.
Yes I'm an emotional player. It's in my character and always has been, I'll always have fire in me. Sorry to those offended by my actions
