Justin Thomas posted back-to-back rounds of 69 to open the PGA Championship, placing him among the top 10 at the halfway point. The two-time winner of the event has shown improved composure after a challenging stretch in major tournaments.
Thomas, a 16-time PGA Tour winner, captured the PGA Championship in 2017 at Quail Hollow and again in 2022 at Southern Hills. In the 15 majors since that 2022 victory he recorded just one top-30 finish and missed seven cuts. His opening rounds at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, reversed that pattern and left him feeling encouraged about his approach.
