Justin Thomas Makes Request Before U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Justin Thomas, the No. 5 ranked golfer and two-time major winner, is competing in the 125th U.S. Open at the challenging Oakmont Country Club, known for its thick rough and difficult conditions. Ahead of the tournament, Thomas suggested on social media that the USGA should organize a round for amateur golfers of various handicaps to see how they perform on the course, a proposal that the USGA entertained. With 40-1 odds to win, Thomas will begin his tournament at 1:03 p.m., paired with Min Woo Lee and Brooks Koepka.
