Justin Thomas Faces Challenges in 2025 Masters

Justin Thomas, a two-time PGA Championship winner, began the first round of the 2025 Masters with frustration, captured by microphones as he expressed a vulgar outburst after a poor tee shot on the eighth hole. Despite this, Thomas managed to save par on the hole and finished the day at one-over par. His performance at Augusta National has been inconsistent, with his best finish being fourth place in 2020, and he has not made the cut in recent years. This year, he faced additional challenges with a last-minute caddie change due to an injury to his regular caddie. Despite these setbacks, Thomas expressed positivity from the family-focused Par 3 contest the day before. Meanwhile, reigning champion Scottie Scheffler leads the tournament, and Rory McIlroy seeks advice from Jack Nicklaus on winning at Augusta.
