Former University of Alabama golf standout Justin Thomas didn't win his first green jacket over the weekend at The Masters, but he did have his best finish at the storied event, shooting 12-under par landing himself in fourth place. 

He started out strong, finding himself in a tie for first place through the first two rounds at 9-under par, but only shot 1-under par on Saturday to lose ground on eventual winner, Dustin Johnson.

Thomas bounced back nicely on Sunday with a round of two-under par to complete the best finish at Augusta of his career. He also took home $552,000.

Those efforts have earned him the honor of Bama Central Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week.
