Justin Thomas’ “Incredible” Creek Shooting Wows Wows ESPN Crew in PGA

Justin Thomas’ high hopes fell into a tough start on Thursday of the 2025 PGA Championship. But a bold miraculous and marvelous chip may also save his PGA opportunities, which also wows all analysts on ESPN TV.

Entering this week on the PGA of Quail Hollow, Thomas is high in the expected game. After all, he won the 2017 PGA Championship in this field, the first of his two PGA titles.

He also won the RBC legacy in late April in a series of outstanding performances so far this season.

But from the beginning, Thomas’ 2025 PGA campaign was indirect.

Thomas’ disastrous PGA Championship begins

Thomas started the first nine games at Quail Hollow on Thursday, opening at No. 1 with neat par. But on the second time, things started to get hay.

He threw his T-shirt on the left 4-4 face and his ball ended up in some trees. That forces the fragments. After finally reaching the green, Thomas made the 6th class for the 3rd turn.

He immediately followed the curved number on the third hole. He fell to four while adding a second bogey to the long 366.

But the rest of Thomas would look very different, which is emphasized by his 18-year-old heroic shooting.

Thomas charges to get miraculous stream shooting

Thomas won the first birdie of the day in eighth place, even though he lost another gun in the first nine 39 shots. Then on the back, his game turned around.

The 10-year-old bird then went back to one in three consecutive red numbers in the hole 14-16.

Then there is the par 4 18th hole.

Thomas dragged his ball into the fairway, although his ball could be affected by some mud controversy over mud balls, which sparked the PGA title on Thursday. This is shown on the next shot, as his ball follows left to the left toward the rocky stream, which borders the green left.

When Thomas reached the ball, he might breathe a sigh of relief and found it drying in a grass. But the resting place may be worse than the bottom of the stream. Thomas’ balls somehow went into a few inches of roughness directly between the large rocks and the water flowing in the small river.

Thomas then took off his left shoes and socks. It seems he will try to hit the seemingly impossible shot instead of dropping it, while the ESPN TV broadcaster is next to him.

Curtis Strange even begged to the two-time PGA champion, saying, “Don’t do it.”

“There can be a lot of things wrong here and very few people can do it,” added John Maginnes, an ESPN in-course journalist.

It doesn’t matter, Thomas still pulled the wedge and set the ball as the ball. In this case, everything can happen. He could have pulled it into the creek, causing free throws and drops. He could have affected the rock’s fall and invited disaster. Given the need for a steep swing track, he might whip it.

But he didn’t. Thomas’ brief and steep swing, sending the ball from the rough, miraculously to the green, just 12 feet from the hole.
