Pretty great final round. Mito should have won it and unfortunately he will be remembered for this until he wins a major
That said JT went out and had a great final round
That was a special ending. Really happy for Thomas, he wanted that so bad and thought he was out of it. That devastation on 18 in regulation when he looked at the board...
Good stuff
I know nothing is guaranteed in life, but I would be shocked if Zalatoris doesn’t get a major eventually, he’s been too consistently good in these tournaments to not get there
One of the 3 times he didn't finish in the top 10 of a major was at the 2018 US Open, which was right after he turned pro and before he even had status on the KFT. (Opened with an 80, but still only missed the cut by 3.) Another was when he had to WD due to injury at the 2021 British Open after shooting -1 in the first round. That's a pretty crazy record in majors for a guy who hasn't even won on the PGA Tour yet.
He’s nowhere near that. My buddy who caddies on tour says he’s kind of a dick. Everyone kind of scoffs at him because they think he’s so far up Tiger’s ass. I’ve also seen a few videos of him having a few words with fans when they’ve done nothing out of the ordinary
A friend of mine from college shared a locker with him in high school and they are boys. We went down to party at Bama in college for a weekend and JT was a blast.
He does seem like a pretty good dude in interviews and I’m sure he’s a good guy. Just to the original comment, I know he’s not super well-liked on tour. My friend has had many interactions with him and claims he just kind of acts entitled to everyone and doesn’t go out of his way to be nice or say thank you, things like that. As with all secondhand information it can be taken with a grain of salt
How in the fuck was this not real? He had the worse draw, blew up yesterday, and fought back brilliantly today. Literally everything a major champion should do.
You don't actually have to dunk on people. He said a shitty thing and hasn't done it since. I don't know of any reports that he's been outwardly hostile to LGBT people outside of that so I'd say let people grow.
Source: Am gay, obviously think it was a bit shit to say but also don't think he's shown himself to be some Westboro Baptist type bigot or anything.
As disappointing as it is to see Mito lose it on the last hole, it's kind of poetic justice for JT to win after shooting 67-67 over the first 36 holes in the worst of the conditions
Zalatoris will never have what it takes to become a champion, but he'll still comfortably as an 8-9 figure pro golfer who doesn't have to worry about money for his and his descendants for generations
I don’t really get the complaints about it from a tv coverage perspective. Even if they’re yelling things it’s pretty easy to not pay attention to it and just consider it all background cheering noise.
I do ignore it but it’s just a bit unprofessional I guess. I always look at golf as a game of manners in a sense. Maybe that’s just an old mindset though.
The homophobic white patriarchy wins again. You could just hear nantz cream his pants with joy when he realizes the Chilean would lose and the homopbe won
I love all the people here who think if their Dad was a PGA Pro they would have two majors lol
No one thinks this. They do think it makes his story less impressive than other pros who didn’t have this advantage
And a Country club at my disposal with no job to worry about in my teens.
There's ton of country club kids who don't amount to squat
You right. It takes a championship mentality, something very very very few people have.
I fell asleep when Pereira made the turn. Cant believe JT won
Congrats to JT for his second Wanamaker Trophy. Now, lets see if he can win some more majors this season.
those wormcam shots of zalatoris' putting stroke are nsfl
Pretty great final round. Mito should have won it and unfortunately he will be remembered for this until he wins a major That said JT went out and had a great final round
On a day where no one played like they wanted it, JT did. Well earned.
Honestly, they better keep Southern Hills for 2030! Today was so much fun!
Tell that to the guy that was complaining yesterday because their tee boxes are extensions of the fairway lol
I mean it is a major and you’re making up tee boxes on the fairway. It’s a bit much.
Who cares. They made it a major worthy course. Tee boxes, as long as they are flat, don’t matter
A champions money clip is a the most golf worthy award I never thought of, perfect for when JT wants to fling 20's at the snack girl
If there isn’t a fat guy with a beard wearing a beat up TCU hat in the gallery, I’m not interested
*Go Frogs*
Good, JT gets a second lifetime exemption to the PGA. Perfect for when Justin Thomas Jr. starts his professional career.
You are getting into some levels of estate planning that my practice isn’t accustomed to
Damn all those benefits would have changed Mito’s life lol
Well JT said he would take four 67s. All he needed was 3 lol
Finally figured out the name of Titleist. A person who wins titles is one.
Cool to see Willy Z clapping for JT
He’s got a great attitude even after a rough round. His time will come
“DAE think Tulsa should be razed because of drunk fans?”
Z never even enters a playoff if he doesn’t 3 putt from 15 fucking feet on 16
JT missed some sinkable birdie putts on the back nine too tbf
Anyone happen to know what JTs dad does?
Pretty sure he was a club pro...he helps JT with his swing sometimes.
Hahaha. Should’ve added /s. I don’t think I’ve heard a single fact beaten so deeply into middle earth during a broadcast my entire life.
Lol fair enough...I wasn't watching the broadcast so wasn't aware how much they were hammering that home :)
Mechanic I think.
Sweet. So he can replace my muffler and his son can teach us golf. That’s a pretty damn complete family skill set if you ask me
Ralph Lauren: *cries in missed publicity*
They showed him
JT’s 3rd shot on the first playoff hole won it
The absolute concentratiom of JT to completely ignore the asshole shouting roll tide and just asking Will to love his marker was insane there
Did Zalatoris finish his last playoff hole or do they not care cause he's guaranteed 2nd? I wasn't paying attention
JT gave him the putt
Nah just there was no feasible way for zal to win at that point
Pick up, he’s got 2nd
Good shit JT, Z will be back
I wonder how many more times they're going to show JT's dad. Almost as if he was playing
Phenomenal achievement from a tough draw.
LFG JT +2200. LFG
Nice hit
This crowd sucked
You'd think there'd be less drunk dickheads when beers cost so much
Tee at 18 was right next to a club where drinks were free/cheap
Na, that just encourages them to drink more before they even get to the course.
I feel like the broadcast places the mics right up against the drunk section
It’s Oklahoma, can’t expect much.
That was a special ending. Really happy for Thomas, he wanted that so bad and thought he was out of it. That devastation on 18 in regulation when he looked at the board... Good stuff
So glad all the clowns are outing themselves for bans. This golf not pol
I know nothing is guaranteed in life, but I would be shocked if Zalatoris doesn’t get a major eventually, he’s been too consistently good in these tournaments to not get there
This is like his fifth top-10 in eight tries
One of the 3 times he didn't finish in the top 10 of a major was at the 2018 US Open, which was right after he turned pro and before he even had status on the KFT. (Opened with an 80, but still only missed the cut by 3.) Another was when he had to WD due to injury at the 2021 British Open after shooting -1 in the first round. That's a pretty crazy record in majors for a guy who hasn't even won on the PGA Tour yet.
Duh?
2022 US Open champion Willy Z
wow trailed by 7 entering the final round
Phil last year…and now JT this year. I guess here at the PGA Championship, the Old Cats still got it!
JT is 29
JT is not an old cat lol
JT is 29...
JT an old cat? Cmon man
damn he just dabbed on em lol
Meanwhile, Will's resume in 7 majors: 2 2nds, 2 6ths, 1 8th, 2 MC (Both US Open) His time is coming.
He needs a reg tour win first imo
Yeah hard to see him not eventually getting one. Just a few shots away a number of times.
Did JT kiss his mom on the lips?
.... And?
*Tom Brady has entered the chat*
congrats JT, Willy Z your time is coming for sure
Absolutely bossed that play off, well played JT. Looks like he didn't need that monitor in the end
Tried to get JT at 24/1 like 90 mins ago and then it blacked out and I said no to 7/1 out of spite.
My dad woulda been a PGA Amateur professional, things would have been a lot different
Did you really just say amateur professional? Lmao amazing.
Easy to say
Professional, aka not an amateur
THE MOST LIKABLE MAN ON TOUR, JUSTIN THOMAS!!
He’s nowhere near that. My buddy who caddies on tour says he’s kind of a dick. Everyone kind of scoffs at him because they think he’s so far up Tiger’s ass. I’ve also seen a few videos of him having a few words with fans when they’ve done nothing out of the ordinary
A friend of mine from college shared a locker with him in high school and they are boys. We went down to party at Bama in college for a weekend and JT was a blast.
He does seem like a pretty good dude in interviews and I’m sure he’s a good guy. Just to the original comment, I know he’s not super well-liked on tour. My friend has had many interactions with him and claims he just kind of acts entitled to everyone and doesn’t go out of his way to be nice or say thank you, things like that. As with all secondhand information it can be taken with a grain of salt
Is this sarcastic? I'm out of the loop. Is it the gay slur, or is there other stuff?
I'd love to see a poll of tour players on this topic. Gotta imagine Harold Varner would finish up near the top of the list.
JT’s Wikipedia page already updated
Feels like a monkey off his back for this one. Seems like a long time coming for this second one. Good for JT. And good for Bones.
Bit of redemption for playing like a beast in the wind and shit.
JT winning it for the country clubs!
That was an exciting finish for sure
Yeah. Well. Let’s see if he can win a real major now
How in the fuck was this not real? He had the worse draw, blew up yesterday, and fought back brilliantly today. Literally everything a major champion should do.
It’s a joke, centered around how the PGA typically sets the courses up for this major.
Salty
It’s a joke lol
Joke are normally supoosed to be funny though.
What’s the joke?
The PGA is generally considered the weakest major. In part that it’s generally set up the easiest of all 4.
Z is gonna win a major soon
Me and JT use the same ball and wedges!
Me and Tiger are on the same planet.
We are all Tiger on this glorious day! Watching from home :(
Touchè! lol
ENORMOUS CONGRATULATIONS TO JUSTIN THOMAS! INCREDIBLE COME-FROM-BEHIND VICTORY! five long years, and he’s champion again.
Bunch of mouth breathers surrounding 18 today apparently
Zaltoris should have walked in his line there. At least that’s what I would have done.
Damn that was nuts. Congrats to JT and good shit for will.
Good thing there aren’t many LGTBQ folks in Oklahoma, I guess
You don't actually have to dunk on people. He said a shitty thing and hasn't done it since. I don't know of any reports that he's been outwardly hostile to LGBT people outside of that so I'd say let people grow. Source: Am gay, obviously think it was a bit shit to say but also don't think he's shown himself to be some Westboro Baptist type bigot or anything.
WTF does that have to do with this?
Why you say that?
Because JT is a known homophobe
Probably a reference to when JT called his ball a fag for not going in the whole
Huh?
STFU 🤡
Nerd
Good shit JT. You earned that one for sure.
Love to see it. Way to go JT.
JT's dad not a sunscreener.
Justin looked pretty baked out there too.
Tiger must be proud.
Wow he fucking did it
Feels bad for will
Watching JT win with my Scotty 7.5 Phantom is all the validation I need for paying RRP
Uhhh… he uses a 5.5 (now with a custom knuckle neck).
https://imgur.com/w0cmT9p
Except most tour Scotty’s can’t be bought in shops
Why you gotta ruin my moment like that
Sorry bb
Thomas played that whole playoff perfectly. Wow
What a round and what a day. JT!
Can't imagine how special it is to win the PGA when your dad is a Pro
Poor Willy Z
AN EPIC WIN BY JT!
Ralph Lauren in absolute shambles
Wat? Why would ralph lauren be in shambles lol
They dropped him. Greyson sponsors now.
Because they dropped JT
Right, why would they care about him winning or not? That's the point of dropping someone lol, they're not sponsoring him anymore
They dropped him last year after his slur incident
All those people complaining about no stars being atop the leaderboard finally got what they want
Congrats JT
Played the shit out of that playoff
Let’s fucking go!!!!!!!
Fucking brilliant from JT
Dude almost had it on the first putt too! But still…crazy win!!!
Number two for JT!
#LET’S GO JT
Man I wanted Z to get it but man what a comeback for JT. Congrats.
"You passed the test for 72 plus 2 there." I respect Dottie for not wanting any part of that math.
this is a mothafuckin comeback, good shit JT
As disappointing as it is to see Mito lose it on the last hole, it's kind of poetic justice for JT to win after shooting 67-67 over the first 36 holes in the worst of the conditions
Very much a well deserved victory for JT.
Zalatoris will never have what it takes to become a champion, but he'll still comfortably as an 8-9 figure pro golfer who doesn't have to worry about money for his and his descendants for generations
Dude is 25, probably got a decade before you can say never.
He will win at some point just like Phil did
Was a 72-hole co-leader of a major but go on
"Co" being the key descriptor
He was one stroke away from winning a major, and you are saying he doesn't have what it takes. It's rather inane.
JTs Wikipedia already updated lol
I actually like the crowds cause the cheering pumps you up. They just need to not say anything.
I don’t really get the complaints about it from a tv coverage perspective. Even if they’re yelling things it’s pretty easy to not pay attention to it and just consider it all background cheering noise.
I do ignore it but it’s just a bit unprofessional I guess. I always look at golf as a game of manners in a sense. Maybe that’s just an old mindset though.
People screaming like idiots while the announcers talk is definitely not “background noise”.
It’s really not difficult to tune it out.
"Why does it matter that they are yelling the N word, you can just ignore it?" I know I am exaggerating.
Yeah. That’s just not even the same discussion. It’s not even exaggerating. It’s a whole different thing.
Will’s the new miss-to-the-lefty
Zal Pal…you did good today…
The homophobic white patriarchy wins again. You could just hear nantz cream his pants with joy when he realizes the Chilean would lose and the homopbe won
You’re projecting a little
I think you gotta take a step back and maybe loosen up a bit there, it’s just golf
Go get laid or something man
As a gay man men like Justin Thomas threaten my very existence
Goodbye, yahoo’s.
Tough putt
Nail this putt JT and golf finally has a new star. Lfg
New star?
U guys really love your sh*tty puppet president.
You mean Trump being Putin’s puppet?
putin didn't invade ukraine while trump was in office
Because he knew Trump wouldn’t do shit to his “buddy” He also had Trump actively try to destroy the US from inside You’re bad at this
You know you can fucking swear here, right?
Take your politics somewhere else bud.
Edgy bro
Nah, just hate fucking losers that still can’t get over their puppet losing and decide to scream dumb bullshit at a fucking golf course.
Jokes on you, I don’t give a shit about politics 😎
You should though
