Justin Thomas is a PGA Tour winner again, after his thrilling victory at the RBC Heritage.

His form this week was like night and day from what he showed around Augusta National at The Masters during the previous week.

Thomas played extremely solid golf all week around Harbour Town Links, before lifting his 16th PGA Tour title at the RBC Heritage.

He’ll be waking up this morning a very happy man indeed.

Thomas has now done what no other PGA Tour player has done this season, after becoming the first to win an event after leading following the first round.

Incredibly, Thomas holed a putt to win a tournament for the first time in his career on the first play-off on Sunday.

The super-talented American had won 15 times before, but they were all after tap-ins on the final hole.

Thomas will be flying high on confidence now, and nobody would be surprised to see him win a couple more times before the season is out.

Justin Thomas says what happened to him at Augusta last week was very ‘weird’

The University of Alabama alum has been working incredibly hard this season.

In fact, he has been relentless with his practice over the past few years in an attempt to end his trophy drought.

Thomas’s victory at the RBC Heritage was his first since his PGA Championship win in 2022.

Now nobody would be surprised to see him go on and become a multiple winner on tour this season.

All of the 31-year-old’s hard work has finally paid off for him.

Thomas responded when asked what he was working on leading up to the first round of the RBC Heritage:

“Just trying to sharpen things up. Last week I felt like was weird at Augusta. I hit some really, really good shots and then I just hit some good shots. I felt like there wasn’t really anything in between. Then again when sitting and looking back at the week, I tried to be reasonable with myself and it was very clearly not a normal week, with the very unfortunate situation with Rev and his back going out and then not knowing what I’m going to do for a caddie and then figuring out Tuesday Joe could come and then us having nine holes together and pretty much like on the fly and on the go figuring out how it’s going and then also trying to play well.

“I gave myself a little bit of grace once it was over, but that round I played on Sunday on the back nine and birdieing the last two holes, nobody would pay — they have no reason to pay attention to it, especially with what happened on Sunday at Augusta.

“It’s something for us as players, we take a lot of pride in, and I felt like it was easy to take the day off but just needed a little bit that I felt like if I could just sharpen some things up and really come into a week at a place that I loved, prepared and ready to go, then we could have a chance to win this week.

“I putted the ball beautifully today. I played really, really well. Tee to green I didn’t really hit very many what I felt like bad shots. It’s just so fun stepping up on holes like 17, although it would be a 9-iron, but it’s got to be hit perfectly to get in that little window and land it where you want to land it and executing those kind of shots, and even missing that putt on 17. But that putt is breaking five feet and so downhill, and hitting it exactly how I wanted and it almost going in, I felt like I had control of everything.

“It never felt like I needed to force things out there or was hoping things were happening. I just was kind of like, let’s just keep playing and I’ll make birdies when I can. The patience was great, but those par putts and putts I made on the front nine were huge for my momentum and keeping them.“

Where is Justin Thomas on the PGA Tour career money standings

Thomas has banked some serious cash throughout his PGA Tour career to date.

Incredibly, his win at the RBC Heritage saw him jump up to eighth on the list of all-time money earned.

Thomas has raked in just over $66 million after 10 years on tour – not bad work if you can get it!

His comments after he won at Harbour Town Links prove just how committed he is to not only rediscovering his best form, but improving on that as well.

Thomas is not afraid of winning. 16 PGA Tour titles at the age of 31 is quite something, and he really deserved his most recent triumph.
