MEDINAH, Ill. -- Justin Thomas is as perplexed as anyone as to why he hasn't won in more than a year.
Golf is a difficult game, with its share of peaks and valleys, and numerous other players are grabbing their share of victories. So nothing was ever guaranteed.
But Thomas had accumulated nine PGA Tour wins through last season, including a major championship. He reached No. 1 in the world as recently as two years ago. He played on Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup teams.
And yet, somehow, he has made it to the second-to-last event of the season without a win, and dropped to 10th in the world heading into the second FedEx Cup playoff event at the BMW Championship.
