DUBLIN, Ohio – Justin Thomas had to call for backup Saturday at the Memorial.
His caddie, Jimmy Johnson, felt dizzy as they played the third round in a heat advisory, with a feels-like temperature of 100-plus degrees at Muirfield Village. Fortunately for Thomas, his father and swing coach, Mike, was outside the ropes and able to carry the bag for the final six holes. As an instructor, Mike Thomas was already inside the Tour bubble and cleared through the COVID-19 protocols.
“I could tell he was lightheaded and didn’t have a lot of energy,” Thomas said after the round.
