Louisville Native Justin Thomas Finishes Inside Top 10 at PGA Championship: Roll Call, May 20, 2024

Former Alabama golfer Justin Thomas, the winner of the 2022 PGA Championship, played the same event this year at Valhalla Golf Club in his hometown of Louisville, Ky. He finished tied for eighth, his first time placing inside the top 10 at a major since that very same PGA Championship triumph at Southern Hills.

Thomas closed his day with a 3-under 68, bringing his overall total to 13-under par, eight shots behind champion Xander Schauffele. He had a great experience playing in front of a hometown crowd, saying afterwards he might have wanted it too bad.

He has two major championship wins in his career, the other being the 2017 PGA Championship. For Schauffele, Sunday's victory at Valhalla was the first major title of his pro career. He and Thomas have each placed in the top 15 at all four majors.
