With the Rocket mortgage Classic underway where he missed another cut, JT had an opportunity to open up to the media about his distress. However, it’s not all bad for the PGA Tour golfer. When asked by the reporter how he manages to keep his sanity intact because “golf is a mental game”, Justin Thomas shared a rather heartfelt exchange with his wife that helped uplift his spirits. Golf.com shared the inspiring story on Twitter.

 

“All the credit to, honestly, my wife who Wednesday night last week sent me a text that I woke up to Thursday,” he stated. It wasn’t what he expected after the disappointing swings he delivered. Instead, it was a reminder. “Just kind of, it resonated to me and it really hit home better than anything I’ve heard,” JT admitted to the reporter.

He went on to paraphrase the contents of the heartfelt text message. “Basically said remember why you love this game and why you play this game and why you’re out there; just enjoy that and kind of take it in.”

Thomas felt moved by his wife’s kind and supportive gesture. “So last week, any kind of challenge I faced, anything good that happened, anything bad that happened, I just kind of remembered this is why I play professional golf and that’s, it’s why I’m doing this.”

Seems like Jillian Wisniewski knows her husband well. Even though she couldn’t hold his hand or stand by his side to show her appreciation, she knew exactly what to say and when to say it.

Jillian Wisniewski has been JT’s rock
