JUSTIN THOMAS LIKES WINGED FOOT. Actually, it's more like a love affair, especially after an opening 65 alongside Masters champion Tiger Woods and PGA champion Colin Morikawa.
"I loved it," Thomas said about Winged Foot, site of many U.S. Opens and other major events. "It's one of my favorite, if not my favorite, courses I've ever played."
That's high praise.
Thomas hit nine of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens en route to his 65. Fairways and greens, as they say. More of that could earn him his second major victory and first U.S. Open.
