Justin Thomas had a pretty rough go of things early on Saturday afternoon as he worked to climb up the U.S. Open leaderboard.
At a par-four No. 4 hole that’s given him trouble all weekend, Thomas landed his third-round tee shot just a few inches from a drain pipe. He thought the location would cause enough interference to afford him a free drop from USGA officials. He was wrong. Officials instead told him to play the ball as it lies.
That resulted in Thomas completely duffing his second shot and landing it in the sand trap short of the green. An understandably upset JT then launched an expletive-laden rant as he walked down the fairway.
