But they didn’t. Not just in major tournaments – where he has struggled mightily since that win, with five missed cuts since that 2022 PGA Championship victory – but Thomas hadn’t won a single PGA Tour tournament since. Until Sunday. 
Thomas tied the course record at Harbour Town with a 61 on Thursday to jump to a lead at the RBC Heritage.

That tournament, Corales Puntacana Championship, featured an incredible ending – but one that Joel Dahmen would like to forget.
