Justin Thomas Press Conference | 2024 PGA Championship Round 4 

if that was the case, why couldn’t everyone shoot that score? everyone is capable of playing well and deserved their spots into the championship based purely on their skill level and ability to play golf at the highest level, yet a majority of the field was less than double digits under par and even the amounts that were double digits under par, couldn’t reach -20? in fact only two golfers in the entire field could reach that number. it has nothing to do with the course, and everything to do with players being able to score well. course conditions should also be taken into consideration when making comments like that. dustin johnson managed to shoot -20 when he won the master’s in 2020, does that mean augusta is not a course worthy of hosting the master’s? they could hold a tournament on the easiest course in the world and it would still be a great test for professional golfers and their ability to go low, and in the end, only one wins no matter what. competition is still competition, and the better golfers will still outperform the latter.

not to mention, valhalla is a legendary course and has hosted the pga championship for decades. it’s not always about the course difficulty, but also about the beauty, tradition, and the meaning each course possesses to professional golf.

@@squeegeesen well said. I enjoyed every minute yesterday. Haymakers left and right from the best in the world. Just like you said about DJ at Augusta. Give these guys a soft course and no wind and they are going to tear it up! And quite honestly it was only a select few that did. In the end 3 guys pulled away. If not for them the tournament was around 14 to 15 under which is about normal these days. We don't need even par U.S. Opens for every major. I truly enjoy watching these guys go low. Just shows how good they are!

@@thomasrobinson5190 agreed! i’m kind of tired of courses trying to make players struggle for a par, it’s not enjoyable to watch golfers shoot bad scores. far more enjoyable to see them go as low as possible!
