Good afternoon. We’ve got some team golf to look forward to at the Zurich Classic. Can Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry repeat as champs?
How To Go From 174th To 24th In Putting
Asked Justin Thomas what has led to the drastic improvement with the putter (from 174th to 24th).
He revealed he sought Xander Schauffele's help. Xander spent 2-3 hours with JT in the offseason and helped JT refind his feels.

Classy move by Xander Schauffele to help out. Do you think prime Tiger would’ve done that for anyone?

Quick Recap: RBC Heritage
Putting can be a superpower.
That’s what put Justin Thomas back in the winners circle yesterday.
Starting on the 4th hole, he made five straight putts; 8 feet for par, 7 feet for birdie, 7 feet for par, 8 feet for par, and about 15 feet for birdie on the 8th.
Yet with all those putts finding the hole, he still found himself in a playoff with Andrew Novak.
Novak made birdie on the 16th hole to even the score with Thomas, who was playing ahead of him.
Novak, a South Carolina native, had an 8 foot putt for birdie to win in regulation, but it was left all the way.
He tapped in for par and a two man playoff against Thomas.
In the playoff, Novak hit his approach to 35 feet. JT hit his to about 20 feet.
Novak missed and Thomas hit as pure of a putt to win as you’ll ever see.

Okay, so it turns out, if you’re in Vegas and need a caddy, you can hire a model to do it through Platinum Tees. Pretty clever idea.
