Justin Thomas: Surges to top-20 with Sunday 65

Rotowire7 hours ago

Thomas fired a seven-under 65 in the final round of the Memorial Tournament to finish tied with Aaron Rai and Keegan Bradley for 19th.

Analysis:

Thomas barely made the five-over cut after rounds of 74-75, but he surged 17 spots up the leaderboard Sunday thanks to a spectacular final round that included a four-under back nine. He led the field at Muirfield in SG: Around-the-Green, gaining 6.15 strokes in that category, though he lost strokes both with his irons and putter. Thomas has finished in the top-20 in each of his last four tournaments and has some momentum behind him heading into the U.S. Open in two weeks time. He has missed the cut in each of his last three outings at the major and finished T25 in 2018, the last time that the U.S. Open was hosted by Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
