Justin Thomas secured a long-awaited win at the 2025 RBC Heritage, outlasting Andrew Novak in a playoff. This victory marks his first in nearly three years and signals a promising return to form heading into a pivotal season.
However, analyst Eamon Lynch’s bold claim—calling Thomas the greatest American golfer of his generation—sparked intense backlash. Fans quickly defended Brooks Koepka, citing his five major titles and consistent dominance, with many dismissing the statement as anti-LIV bias.
Despite the controversy, Thomas has had a strong season. He’s posted top finishes at several events, including second at The American Express and Valspar, reinforcing his status as a top contender in American golf.
