Justin Thomas shoots 8-under 62 to take one-shot lead at Scottish Open
Justin Thomas dressed in tartan-patterned trousers and played the part Thursday in the Scottish Open with an 8-under 62, his lowest opening round on the PGA Tour since his 59 in the Sony Open seven years ago.
“I thought the par was 71, and then I looked up and saw even-par 70 and was like, `Oh, I just need a couple of more and I can shoot 59.’ And then shockingly, I made five pars in a row,” the American said. Thomas is capable of this kind of golf — it was his 54th time he made at least eight birdies in a round — but they have been few and far between lately. He still is searching for his first win since the PGA Championship two years ago at Southern Hills.Swedish star Ludvig Aberg also overcame a pair of bogeys and was in a large group at 64 that included Maximilian Kieffer of Germany, Haotong Li of China, Thomas Detry of Belgium and American Justin Lower.
“I’m not going to let three or four holes cloud my judgment in terms of how good I’m playing,” he said. “I knew to play the golf that I did the whole way through June ... it wasn’t just the U.S. Open. I played well at the Canadian Open and at Memorial before that even, and PGA and Quail Hollow. My game has been in good shape and it was in good shape coming in here.
