AUSTIN, Texas -- Justin Thomas has reached the semifinals of the Dell Technologies Match Play and is one round away from reaching No. 1 in the world.
Thomas made quick work of Si Woo Kim on Saturday morning, and then won three straight holes to start the back nine in a 2-and-1 victory over Kyle Stanley.
He would replace Dustin Johnson atop the world ranking if he reaches the championship match. In his way is Bubba Watson, who is back to playing like the two-time Masters champion.
