Justin Thomas followed his opening 7-over 79 with another 79 in Round 2 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing 14 over par and missing the cut by a wide margin in his comeback from back surgery. Despite the struggles, Thomas reported his body feels strong, while Rory McIlroy offered encouragement for a rebound.
Justin Thomas underwent microdiscectomy surgery last November for a damaged lower back disk, missing 10 weeks of play including early 2024 Tour events. PGA Tour chiropractic director Dr. Tom LaFountain links such injuries to the demands of contemporary swings. Similar issues have affected players like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Collin Morikawa.
