Justin Thomas Ends Drought And Triumphs In Record Breaking Fashion

- 

Rolex Testimonee Justin Thomas has claimed an unforgettable victory at the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club, claiming the iconic Wanamaker Trophy for the second time, after winning an extraordinary championship playoff.

Thomas secured his second PGA Championship adding to his 2017 victory after precision play in a three-hole aggregate playoff to determine the 2022 PGA Champion at Southern Hills Country Club. The playoff was the first in a men’s Major championship since 2011 and with this triumph, the World No. 5, Thomas showed the composure and precision required to win, edging his competitor by one stroke after a total of 75 holes played. The playoff for the Wanamaker Trophy was contested on holes 13, 17 and 18 with both players scoring birdie on the first hole, but Thomas edged to victory with a birdie on the second and his resulting par on the last playoff hole rewrote his name into the PGA Championship history books.

In winning, Thomas matched the greatest last-day comeback in PGA Championship history, becoming only the sixth golfer to ever come back from seven strokes or more in a final round to capture a Major title.
