KAPALUA, Hawaii — Justin Thomas began the new year mildly disappointed by not having won more than he already has on the PGA Tour.
That’s not to suggest he ever thought it was easy.
Sunday at Kapalua was proof of that.
Thomas won the Sentry Tournament of Champions in a three-man playoff over Patrick Reed and Xander Schauffele for his third victory in his last six starts on the PGA Tour and the 12th victory of his career. Thomas, 26, now has more victories than any active players younger than 30.
That took time to digest, mainly because of how he got to No.
