The golf gods were extremely kind to Thomas, who took advantage and claimed his 13th career PGA Tour victory in Memphis, making a bit of history in the process.
Thomas worked his way back to the top spot in golf by capitalising on a strong iron game that saw him rank first in strokes gained/tee-to-green and second in strokes gained/approach-the-green.
Ian Poulter shot a four-under-par 66 on Thursday at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational, but that performance was overshadowed by a confrontation with a fan on the final hole at TPC Southwind.
This week’s FedEx St Jude Classic on the US PGA Tour features a hole that’s a little reminiscent of the famous par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, site of last month’s Players Championship.
