Thomas emerges from behind Spieth's shadow

ST. LOUIS – Jordan Spieth can continue his march on history this week at the PGA Championship ... and all anyone wants to talk about is the continued brilliance of Justin Thomas.

Imagine that scenario three years ago.

Members of the high school class of 2011 and friendly rivals, Spieth and Thomas, both 25, are inextricably linked – then, now and probably forever. With a two-year head start, Spieth has almost always enjoyed the upper hand, but now Thomas is slowly but surely turning the tables.

After his resounding victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Thomas now owns nine PGA Tour titles to Spieth’s 11.
