FORT WORTH, Texas – Justin Thomas opened his week at Colonial Country Club by insisting he was squarely focused on adding another trophy to his case, even if the Charles Schwab Challenge kicked off just days after he won the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club.
The scorecard implies Thomas might have lost that focus just a tad.
On a sweltering Texas day, the 15-time PGA Tour champ broke down soon after escaping the Horrible Horseshoe — the three-hole stretch on the front nine that often gives players fits. Instead, it was Nos. 7, 8 and 9 that proved the downfall for Thomas, as his bogey-bogey-triple run essentially clinched a weekend off.
