Justin Thomas give his insight into an unfiltered exchange with golfing giant Tiger Woods during a tough spot at the Presidents Cup, which offered less-than-helpful counsel while on the fairway. Though performing more favourably in the 2023/24 season, Thomas was not part of this year's Presidents Cup teameven though his world ranking is No. 30 at present.
Recollecting a moment from the 2019 competition when partnered with Woods, Thomas outlined the difficult decision he faced before a pivotal shot. Reliving the memory on The Smylie Show, he said: "It was in the alternate shot, and I just made like an eight-footer for birdie to stay tied in the match. We were in a really good match," Thomas reflected.
"So I had 16 tee shot, and it's this brutal hole." "It's this very narrow dog-leg left, and it just gradually dog legs the whole way. And I like to fade the ball off the tee, and there's this damn tree that's right off of the tee on the left that's just right in my window .
.. it's a big point in the match.
I need to get this ball in play.", reports the Mirror . Thomas discussed the quandary he faced with his teammate, remarking, "I have the greatest iron player on planet earth on my team, but it's such a long hole, I can't hit an iron because it's like a driver/five-iron kind of par four.
And I never really ask Tiger anything in terms of layups or whatever it is, and that's what makes him such a great partner. He's just like, 'look, you go play, I'll go play, I'll let you know if.
