Tiger Woods' harsh barb helped Justin Thomas master tough conditions at PGA Championship

Tiger Woods assisted Justin Thomas at the PGA Championship with a rather blunt statement. The world number nine shot his second successive 67 to end day two six under par, three shots behind leader Will Zalatoris.

After another positive day’s play the American shared the advice he was given by the 15-time major winner to negotiate the windy conditions at Southern Hills. “The first time I played competitively with Tiger, I just asked him: ‘What do you see?’ He said: ‘You don't move the ball enough’. For me it was a case of: ‘He's pretty good, he said that, I should probably try it,” said Thomas.

“Just being as windy as it was today, there was a lot of manipulating different shots. I played better today than I did yesterday. It was a lot more difficult due to the wind but I made it very easy on myself.
