Shane Lowry blowing $400,00 got three-word reaction from Justin Thomas

Shane Lowry’s missed par putt on the 18th hole at the Truist Championship cost him the title and \$400,000, forcing a playoff with Justin Thomas and Sepp Straka. The error gifted Thomas a surprising financial boost and a shared second place.

Lowry had been poised to win outright before the costly slip on the final green. Justin Thomas, initially resigned to a solo third-place finish, reacted with a simple “Thank you, Shane” as his payout jumped from $1.36 million to $1.76 million thanks to the tie.

The dramatic finish added to Lowry’s frustration, as he walked off without addressing the press. Meanwhile, Thomas, buoyed by his returning caddie and determined mindset, expressed satisfaction with his performance and remained focused on future wins.
