HONOLULU – Justin Thomas lapped the field at Waialae Country Club, closing with his second-consecutive 65 to finish seven strokes clear of Justin Rose for his fourth PGA Tour title, and, despite the margin of victory, there were no shortage of highlights on Sunday.
Justin Thomas and his father, Mike, have a tradition. For every event the 23-year-old has won, from his junior golf days all the way to his Tour career, the duo puts the winning golf ball in a display rack.
His victory on Sunday at the Sony Open brings that number to 130 golf balls, but after becoming the seventh player in Tour history to shoot a sub-60 round on Thursday (59) he suggested he might put that ball in there as well, but Mike Thomas had other plans.
