Justin Thomas returns to the site of his first major win, looking for third career PGA Championship

Justin Thomas returns to Quail Hollow aiming to reclaim the form that led to his first major win in 2017. The 32-year-old enters the PGA Championship in strong form, having finished runner-up or better in three of his last four events.

His recent resurgence includes a playoff win at the RBC Heritage, ending a three-year drought. Thomas credits patience and self-trust for his renewed success, and he believes his familiarity with Quail Hollow’s tough closing stretch gives him a competitive edge.

While course conditions differ from 2017, Thomas draws confidence from past success. Watching Rory McIlroy complete a Grand Slam reignited his own major aspirations, as he eyes more than just PGA titles in the future.
