Justin Thomas thrives in Oklahoma wind, takes lead at PGA Championship

TULSA, Okla. – Justin Thomas got the worst side of the weather draw at the PGA Championship, and in the Oklahoma gusts, he thrived.

With the wind blowing in excess of 30 mph Friday morning at Southern Hills, Thomas went out early and shot another 3-under 67 that has him on top of the leaderboard as the afternoon wave gets underway.

Thomas, who is becoming known for low rounds in high winds, was asked what makes him excel in difficult conditions.

”I have confidence that I can execute still and hit the shots that I want,” Thomas said.
