Justin Thomas came up just short in the end on the final day at the Truist Championship.

Thomas has enjoyed a real renaissance this season, and had a great chance to rack up his second PGA Tour win of 2025 at the Truist Championship

It was obvious to see that Thomas sent a message of intent at the Truist Championship.

The likes of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will be looking at the recent RBC Heritage champion as a genuine contender to win at the PGA Championship next week.

Thomas had a 10-year-old 5-wood in his bag for the Truist Championship, and he used it to great effect.

The two-time major winner’s game is clearly peaking at just the right time.

Had he holed a couple more putts on the final day at Philadelphia Cricket Club, he might well be celebrating a win right now.

He was clearly in chase mode on his back nine on Sunday, but it always felt like he didn’t quite have enough to get the job done.

So where did Thomas make the big mistake that cost him a chance to win?

Justin Thomas says he disappointed himself during the final day at the Truist Championship

Thomas is in fine form heading into the PGA Championship next week.

He has already won the Wanamaker Trophy twice during his career to date, and he’d love nothing more than to make that three.

His game is in very solid shape right now, and nobody would be surprised if he emerged victorious at Quail Hollow.

Thomas spoke to reporters after his final round in Philadelphia on Sunday, and shared something he did that he was really disappointed with.

He said, “I think it’s — it was a good day. Obviously I gave myself a chance. Starting three back to have a putt on 15 to tie for the lead, I definitely would have taken that at the start of the day.

“I’m a little disappointed in myself on 16 for pushing it too much and trying to attack there. I had two really, really good players that were playing really well behind us to where I felt like I needed to.

“No, I fought hard, played well, and gave myself a chance, which is what I wanted.“

Thomas responds to Jim Nantz calling his missed putt on 15 ‘shocking’

Things could have been so different for Thomas, had he holed his putt for birdie on the 15th on Sunday.

Instead, he ended up finishing two shots adrift of eventual winner Sepp Straka.

During the telecast in the US, Jim Nantz described Thomas’s missed putt as ‘shocking’.

And the 31-year-old responded when told by reporters about Nantz’s remarks.

He said, “Yeah, it was a bad putt. It was — yeah, it wasn’t one that I obviously thought I would miss or planned on missing, but I’m choosing to focus on all the other ones I made today than that one.“

Fair play from Thomas – he did all he could to win the Truist Championship but he just came up short in the end.
