Rory McIlroy has got back to winning ways on the PGA Tour. The 32-year-old has finally won a title for the first time since November 2019 and it came at the right time. Tons of wishes poured in for McIlroy following his latest triumph, including one from his tour rival and World No. 2, Justin Thomas.

Justin Thomas has a developed a special bond with several golfers on the PGA Tour. Thomas is incredibly close to Tiger Woods as they technically live in the same neighborhood in Jupiter, Florida. JT shares a similar relationship with Rory McIlroy too. 

Justin Thomas thanked Rory McIlroy for making him “look good” 

Rory McIlroy was not enjoying his game on the tour a few months ago. He agonizingly missed the cut at the 2021 Players Championship and the Masters as well. He drew a lot of criticism with sub-par performances, but there was always hope that he’d bounce back.

Every player undergoes a form slump in his career, and Justin Thomas was surprised to see a player like McIlroy suffering from poor luck. However, Thomas had mentioned that McIlroy will soon bounce back and his words came true at Quail Hollow Club on Sunday.
