'Different' course and caddie fun for Thomas

Justin Thomas followed up his sizzling 61 with a two-under 69 on April 18 that was good enough to keep him two shots clear atop the leaderboard at the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

"The golf course felt completely different," said the American, who is chasing his first victory since he claimed the second of his two PGA Championship titles in 2022.

"It's definitely firming up. We even noticed it just kind of on some chips, the pitch shots, some wedges - shots that I hit very nicely, it's not spinning as much. They're getting crusty, and it's fun."

Thomas was even for the day after two birdies and two bogeys in the first 10 holes.
