AKRON, Ohio – Although he already had two victories this season on the PGA Tour, heading into the U.S. Open Justin Thomas decided it was time for a change.
At Shinnecock Hills he switched to a new driver and explained on Sunday at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational that he spent the next few weeks tinkering with it.
“My struggles with the driver has always been the strike, hitting a toe ball because I like to cut the ball with the driver. So when you're setting up for a cut and you toe it and it goes left, that's never good,” he explained.
