CROMWELL, Conn. — Standing under an umbrella on a rainy Tuesday at the Travelers Championship, Justin Thomas made no excuses.
His wrist isn't hurting him. There's no rust to kick off. He just needs to play better golf.
"I have zero pain," he said. "I can do everything normally."
Thomas sat out six weeks between the Masters and the Memorial, missing the year's second major, the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black. As much as he wanted to play, he didn't want to compromise the rest of his season.
"I could have played Colonial — easily — but it would have been stupid and [my wrist] could have been lingering the entire year," he said.
