Thomas after CJ Cup win: ‘Not really a ceiling that I feel like I can't reach’
Chamblee: Thomas' closing record shows he's not 'diminished' by lead
0:001:04Justin Thomas didn’t exactly have the best memory of Nine Bridges’ finishing hole fresh on his mind as he walked toward the island green Sunday at the CJ Cup.
A day earlier, Thomas had rinsed his second shot into the par-5 18th and then watched as Danny Lee drained an eagle putt to complete a three-shot swing and tie Thomas entering the final round.
With Lee again looking at an eagle putt and Thomas facing a tricky two-putt birdie, Thomas turned to caddie Jimmy Johnson and said, “We’ve got to make birdie here.”
