MEMPHIS, TENN. — Justin Thomas wants to make his second stint as No. 1 in the world last longer than the first time around.
“I hope so,” Thomas said Sunday after winning the FedEx St. Jude Invitational to take the No. 1 spot for the first time since June 2018. “I feel like I’m a better player, and I feel like I’m more complete of a golfer now than I was then.”
Thomas dueled defending champion Brooks Koepka down the final holes, including the par-5 16th. Thomas took the lead for good in the World Golf Championship event with his second straight birdie while Koepka bogeyed the hole.
