Something is bothering Justin Thomas as he prepares to compete in his seventh Masters.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Justin Thomas would appear to have a near-perfect life. At 28, he has fame, fortune and 14 PGA Tour victories, including a major in the form of the 2017 PGA Championship.
But something is bothering Thomas as he prepares to compete in his seventh Masters, something completely foreign to the 15-time major champ who doubles as his dear friend. His play in the game’s four biggest events has not matched up with his expectations, and he didn’t hold back when asked if he feels like he has underachieved.
“I feel like I’ve learned,” Thomas said, “but I’ve just put too much pressure on myself in the past and maybe put the tournament on too much of a pedestal and tried to just overdo things, when in reality I should have faith in my game and the things that I can do on the course, with the golf ball. I just need to get a little bit better at kind of getting in my own world and just going to play golf.
“He obviously knows the course amazingly,” Thomas said, “and I feel like I know the course very well, too. … Hopefully we can create a little bit of the success he’s had here.”
