Justin Thomas is having a difficult time accepting his recent loss at the Wyndham Championship. Despite coming agonizingly close to sinking a chip shot for a crucial birdie, which would have saved his season, the two-time major champion has been eliminated from the FedEx Cup playoffs for the first time since his rookie year in 2014. Reflecting on the adversity he faced, Thomas took to Twitter to express his thoughts, stating, “One can either shy away from a challenge or confront it head-on. It was a tough season for me, but I found joy in battling it out on the golf course this week. That’s why we play. It’s devastating to miss the playoffs, but I take pride in the effort I put forth. Onward we go.”
During the final round of the Wyndham Championship, as Thomas stood before the green on the 18th hole, he executed a precise chip shot aimed at the pin. The ball bounced three times, hit the bottom of the pin, and incredibly stayed out, denying Thomas the opportunity for a birdie. The disappointment was evident as Thomas fell on his back and covered his eyes in disbelief. Ultimately, he finished tied for 12th at 11-under, just outside the cutoff for the FedEx Cup playoffs. This marks the first time since 2014 that Thomas has missed the playoffs.
In the standings, Thomas landed at 71st place in points, a mere eight points behind Ben Griffin, who secured the final spot in the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Reflecting on his performance, Thomas expressed his thoughts, saying, “It would have been truly incredible if the ball had gone in. I did everything I could, played my best, fought relentlessly, and achieved the lowest score possible. I can only hope that it’s enough.”
This year has been uncharacteristic for Thomas, the 2017 FedEx Cup champion, as he has experienced five cuts in his last seven tournaments and struggled at major championships. However, despite the disappointment, Thomas received support from fans, including Pat McAfee, who replied to his tweet with encouraging words, “Hell yeah JT… excited to watch your career from here on. It’s going to be legendary.”
