Leaderboard: Justin Thomas (-21), Tony Finau (-15), Patrick Cantlay (-15), Rory Sabbatini (-14), Jon Rahm (-13)

What it means: It’s been a disappointing season so far for Thomas (at least by his lofty standards). He hasn’t won since last year’s WGC-Bridgestone and owns just one top-10 finish since missing seven weeks – including the PGA – with a wrist injury, while slipping to 10th in the world rankings.
