Justin Thomas Has Heartening Interaction With Women’s PGA Championship Leader

In Gee Chun is an LPGA pro-golfer who is leading the Women’s PGA Championship. The South Korean athlete won her first title in the 2015 U.S. Women’s Open. She is also one of the most decorated players on the Women’s PGA Tour. 

The South Korean golfer hit nine birdies and made it a spectacular 64 in the first round of the 2022 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. In Gee Chun did so with a score vs field average of 12.04 strokes. For reference, Tiger Woods’ career-best field average stands at 10.19, which is nearly two shots less than what the 27-year-old recorded. 

Chun appeared highly focused during her game. The athlete has been among the top women golfers ever since she turned pro. She has also won a few majors in her career, along with some other events.

In Gee Chun has made Justin Thomas a fan

Chun’s records got everyone out of their seats and the golfer received appreciation from all around. Among these praises is a golf legend who won the title of the men’s U.S. PGA twice. It is none other than former World No. 1 Justin Thomas.

Knowing the condition Thomas is in right now, Chun took advantage and replied to Thomas on Twitter by saying, “Really?
