Justin Thomas has a strong record in his two Ryder Cup appearances. He forms a strong partnership with longtime friend Jordan Spieth.
It’s not even his partnership with longtime friend Jordan Spieth. They have won eight of their 10 matches in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.“Justin,” said Spieth, not even waiting to hear the full question. Spieth looked straight ahead, waiting to see if there was anything else. And then he added, “Just ask the Europeans.”
McIlroy, on the losing end to Thomas twice in the 2018 Ryder Cup, was trying to think if Europe had anyone who could replace Ian Poulter — a player who took so much pride in competing, who carried himself with such cockiness that he was the one player to whom Americans hated losing.“JT, absolutely,” McIlroy said. “It’s a no-brainer. It’s an ab-so-lute no-brainer. I love JT. He’s one of my closest friends on the tour. The week of the Ryder Cup. I hate him.
He missed the cut in three of them. He nearly missed them all except for the 18th hole at Oak Hill when he took two shots to get out of a bunker and made a 7-foot putt for bogey to make the cut on the number at the PGA Championship.“There were some things that I was trying to change that I ended up basically overdoing or overexaggerating too early, and it just got me in some tough spots,” Thomas said.
