Justin Thomas returned to the winner’s circle Sunday at the RBC Heritage thanks to some help with his putting.
He didn’t credit one of the putting whisperers but rather one of his competitors. None other than world No. 3 and two-time major winner Xander Schauffele was given kudos after Thomas ranked third in Strokes Gained: Putting for the week, gaining 5.512 shots on the field on the putting surfaces at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
"As funny as it is, a huge help was when I called Xander at the end of last year," Thomas said during his winner’s press conference.
