BRADENTON, Fla. – A ricochet off a tree. A layup into a divot. A flubbed wedge into the bunker. A bladed pitch over the green.

With Washington clinging to the eighth and final spot during the last round of stroke-play qualifying, Thomas drove into the right pine straw and had a decision to make: Play the hero shot, or play the percentages.
