DETROIT — Justin Thomas is not in Detroit for some coney dogs or to work on his tan on Belle Isle.
Thomas, a two-time winner of the PGA Championship who suddenly has fallen on the hardest times of his stellar professional career, is here because he has to be.
Thomas is in danger of missing the FedEx Cup playoffs for the first time. He sits 66th in the standings, and this year, only the top 70 get in, down from 125 in previous years.
