Video: Justin Thomas Talks Winged Foot After U.S. Open Preview Round With Tiger
I believe that Justin Thomas was booked on CNBC to hype the playoffs and instead the appearance turned into a Winged Foot preview discussion. I’m sure the folks in Ponte Vedra Beach won’t mind a little lunch time talk around the U.S. Open, oh wait, they will.
He did, however, compliment the effort and suggest that golfers are just happy to have the opportunity to be playing safely. For that grasp of reality, he should get some extra FedExCup points on his reset. Or is it off?
Anyway, the world No. 2 reports that he had never been to Winged Foot, found it “very difficult” and already says its “one of my favorite courses”. Thomas said it’s an “old school design”, “not a lot of trees out there”, “holes have defined-definition” (!), “extremely severe greens” and will be a “true U.S. Open test” this September. So if you’re eyeing him for a second major win, take note, he liked the place.
