Happy Monday. Justin Thomas finally ended his agonizing three-year winless drought with a dramatic 21-foot playoff putt that unleashed years of pent-up emotion at the RBC Heritage. The two-time major champion hadn't tasted victory since the 2022 PGA Championship, confessing through tears that "winning's hard...I just didn't realize how much I missed winning." Thomas outlasted Andrew Novak in a playoff after South Carolina native Novak missed his own 10-foot putt for a walk-off victory on the 72nd hole. The win catapults Thomas back into the top five of the world rankings and firmly into Keegan Bradley's Ryder Cup conversation. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

 👀 The Secret Behind JT’s Putting Improvement

Justin Thomas just revealed the secret catalyst behind his drought-ending RBC Heritage victory—a desperate three-hour putting intervention with Xander Schauffele. The two-time major champion approached his fellow pro with a simple plea: "Can I just pick your brain for like two or three hours, just talk to you about putting?" Schauffele's relentless questioning led Thomas to his breakthrough realization: "I'm trying basically too hard and I'm trying too many different things" rather than sticking with fundamentals from his best years. The resulting transformation took Thomas from 174th in putting last season to third at Harbour Town, proving sometimes the best advice isn't technical but philosophical. ⬇️

❌ Wesley Bryan Suspended by the PGA Tour

The PGA Tour just suspended Wesley Bryan indefinitely for participating in "The Duels: Miami," highlighting golf's increasingly complex relationship with social media. The 2017 RBC Heritage champion violated the Tour's media rights policy by competing in the LIV Golf-sponsored YouTube event alongside his brother George, Phil Mickelson, and Dustin Johnson. The confusing inconsistency? Content creator Grant Horvat participated in the same event that garnered over 2 million views but received a sponsor invitation to a PGA Tour event because he's not a Tour member. Bryan remains unapologetic about his decision, stating "That video is one of the most powerful videos in YouTube golf" as the battle between traditional tournament golf and digital content creation continues to evolve. ⬇️

 🤔 Golf’s Most Confusing Rules Scenario

Ben Crane's good fortune bouncing off rocks became a bizarre misfortune when he accidentally created golf's most confusing scenario. The five-time PGA Tour winner hit what he thought was a lost ball into water, only to discover his original tee shot had miraculously bounced back into play—right next to his dropped second ball. When Crane proceeded to hit what he assumed was his second ball (but was actually his original), he committed golf's rarest rules violation: playing the wrong ball. His brutal self-honesty led to disqualification after he noticed a telltale rock scuff that proved he'd played the abandoned original through the hole. ⬇️
