Justin Thomas Left Stunned by PGA Tour Pro's 7-Under Round Justin Thomas survived the second round of the Memorial Tournament on Friday by making a par on the final hole, then immediately turned to social media to express his amazement at J.T. Poston’s record-breaking performance on the same golf course. The two-time major champion described Poston’s 7-under 65 as the most difficult round he had ever played on the PGA Tour, while Poston’s feat left the entire field in his wake. Thomas, who finished the day at 3 over par to make the cut exactly on the 5-over line, posted on X, calling Poston’s round “the most difficult round I’ve played on tour.” He admitted he struggled to find words to describe the magnitude of Poston’s achievement, writing, “I’m out there trying to figure out where and how I can make ONE birdie, let alone shooting -7! Today was probably the most difficult round I've played on tour.” Poston’s 65 was four shots better than any other player in the field, with the 28-year-old shooting six birdies on the front nine and adding two more on the back nine to finish at 9 under par. He finished one shot ahead of Ryan Gerard, securing a commanding lead. Poston responded to Thomas’s post by complimenting his final-hole par, which secured his survival. The Memorial Tournament, held at Muirfield Village in Ohio, is hosted by 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus. Thomas, who played alongside Rory McIlroy, came into Friday at 2 over after a challenging first round. Three additional bogeys on the front nine in the second round put him in danger of missing the cut. A birdie on the 15th hole was followed by a bogey on 17, leaving him needing a par on the par-4 18th to stay in contention.#justin_thomas #jack_nicklaus #memorial_tournament #jt_poston #muirfield_village
