Thomas (64) rallies to defend title at CIMB Classic

Justin Thomas rallied to defend his title Sunday at the CIMB Classic. Here's the lowdown from the final round in Kuala Lumpur.

Leaderboard: Justin Thomas (-23), Hideki Matsuyama (-20), Anirban Lahiri (-19), Derek Fathauer (-19), Marc Leishman (-17),

What it means: Thomas started the final round four behind Lahiri, but the defending champion quickly took control of the tournament after Lahiri made a quadruple bogey on the par-5 3rd. Thomas birdied four of his first five holes – and nine of the last 10 holes dating back to the third round.
