Master of the Bunkers: Justin Thomas Praises Jordan Spieth’s Exceptional Sand Play on PGA Tour

Golf demands precision, skill, and strategy, with bunker shots among the most challenging. According to PGA professionals, the 40 to 75-yard bunker shot is particularly difficult. Two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas recently shared his thoughts on this critical skill, identifying a standout performer.

During a match with Grant Horvat, Thomas showcased his own impressive bunker play but acknowledged the difficulty of executing these shots flawlessly. He highlighted the risk of minor miscalculations, which can lead to poor outcomes. Despite these challenges, he singled out Jordan Spieth as the best bunker player on the PGA Tour.

Spieth, a three-time major champion, consistently demonstrates exceptional sand play, turning difficult shots into scoring opportunities. Thomas praised his ability to make perfect contact, calling him “the best out of bunkers.” Spieth’s skill in this area enhances his game and cements his reputation as one of golf’s most exciting players.
