Fore Things: Good omen for Thomas' record scores

HONOLULU – Another day, another record performance for Justin Thomas, who followed rounds of 59-64 with a 65 despite not having his best stuff early on Saturday at the Sony Open; but he wasn’t the only one flirting with the record books on Day 3.

Justin Thomas is no stranger to record performances after becoming the seventh player in Tour history to post a sub-60 round and breaking the 36-hole scoring record with his 123 total, but his quest for the 54-hole scoring title hit close to home.

Thomas closed with a birdie at the 18th hole for a 22-under 188 total, tying the previous best three-day score, which was set by Steve Stricker at the 2010 John Deere Classic.
