Justin Thomas Ties Course Record with Historic 16-Shot Improvement at Players Championship

Justin Thomas delivered a remarkable turnaround at The Players Championship, tying the course record with an incredible 10-under 62 during his second round, following a dismal opening score of 78. This dramatic 16-stroke improvement set a record for the largest swing from the first to the second round in the tournament's history. Thomas achieved 11 birdies, the most ever in a single round at this event, and climbed 105 spots on the leaderboard, showing resilience after struggling in his first round. Despite missing the chance to break the record on the final hole due to a bogey, he expressed satisfaction with his mental approach and performance. Thomas's ability to bounce back has reignited his competitive spirit, as he now enters the weekend only seven shots behind the leaders. The event marks a significant moment in his career, reflecting his ongoing journey to reclaim top form after recent struggles.
