Justin Thomas became the talk of social media after a frustrating sequence on the 12th hole during Friday’s second round at the U.S. Open. What began as a promising birdie opportunity quickly turned into a nightmare.
Facing a 22-foot putt for birdie, Thomas missed not once, but three more times before finally sinking a double-bogey putt. The four-putt led to a score of seven on the par-5, pushing him to three-over for the day.
With the Oakmont course playing exceptionally tough, even top golfers like Scottie Scheffler admitted it’s among the hardest they’ve faced. Thomas’ blunder reflected just how brutal the setup has been for all competitors.
As the weekend approaches and conditions worsen, the big question is whether Thomas will survive the cut. At nine-over par and 13 shots off the lead, his U.S. Open hopes are quickly slipping away. Moment at U.S. Open on Friday
