Thomas is coming off a rousing performance at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude in Memphis, where he outduelled four-time major winner Brooks Koepka, to become the third-youngest player to win 13 times on the PGA Tour, behind only Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.The 27-year old's third win of the season propelled him to the top of the world rankings.
Thomas says he can't afford to make too many mistakes at this week's PGA Championship if he is to stay in contention in the first major of the 2020 season.

But he doesn't know how long it will last because no one has been able to hold onto the spot for very long.
