Justin Thomas sure has had a rough run in the 2025 season so far, but he’s still managing to bring in some impressive results. He kicked off the year with a T26 finish at The Sentry Kapalua Resort. Thomas then went on to take second place at The American Express, scoring 265 (-23). Now, his recent performance has also turned out to be a disappointment, yet the golfer is getting the support he so needs at this time.
The 2025 WM Phoenix Open gave us everything it was supposed to – thrilling golf, nail-biting finishes, and a new champion to celebrate. Thomas Detry took home the top prize, winning by an impressive seven shots, and celebrated it with his family. It was his first PGA Tour victory, and what a way to get it! Amanda Balionis, who was on hand to cover the event, was there to capture all the action. She praised Detry’s win, saying “Watching Detry get his first PGA TOUR win with his family and friends celebrating right next to him is incredibly special and we also know this is just the beginning for the talented Belgium.”
Balionis also gave a special shoutout to Justin Thomas, who finished tied for sixth place. “Also shoutout to JT for joining us on air after his round to talk about his incredible finish and call some golf with us on @golfoncbs,” she wrote. This comment may not seem huge to many but for Thomas this must have been exactly what he needed after many PGA Tour collapses. Balionis’s coverage of the event surely gave fans a glimpse into the excitement and drama of the tournament, and her interactions with the players added a personal touch to the coverage. As the golf season heats up, we can expect more thrilling moments like these from the world of golf.
Just because Thomas did not win the tournament does not mean the golfer did not enjoy his time there. Because he surely did!
Justin Thomas’s love for TPC Scottsdale
Thomas finished in the top five at the WM Open, continuing his good run at the venue. He seems to relish playing at TPC Scottsdale, and it’s easy to see why. Last year, he finished 12th despite being out of form, and this year’s performance only solidified his affection for the course. Thomas has a deep understanding of the course, and it shows in his gameplay. He knows how to navigate the challenges of TPC Scottsdale, and that confidence is reflected in his results.
Thomas himself admitted that the course suits his game perfectly. “The course fits my eye. I think I know how to play it. It doesn’t mean I’m going to play it that way, but I know how to get it around, and I’ve played well here,” he explained. Despite not taking home the trophy, Thomas is optimistic about his performance and is looking forward to building on this momentum at the Genesis Invitational. He’s hungry for a win, and with his skill and determination, it’s only a matter of time before he gets his hands on that elusive trophy.
