Thomas (63) sets 36-hole tournament scoring record on 'stress-free day'

After shooting a 4-under 68 in Thursday's opening round, Justin Thomas erupted for a bogey-free, 9-under 63 on Friday at the CJ Cup, setting the 36-hole tournament scoring record.

"I played well. I didn't do anything unbelievably," Thomas said. "It was just a very stress-free day."

It's been fairly stress-free for Thomas since returning from the wrist injury that gave him issues earlier this year. He notched a win two months ago at the BMW Championship, and is again playing the kind of golf reminiscent of when he ascended to the No. 1 player in the world.
