Justin Thomas names major area for improvement in his game
Justin Thomas got off to a good start at the challenging Copperhead Course. The 2021 Players Championship winner gained valuable spots on the leaderboard with his performance. However, Thomas does have a few areas that he wants to perfect at the 2021 Valspar Championship.
“I’m going to go hit some putts. Like I said, I felt like I hit a lot of really quality putts, good putts, a couple maybe had a little bit more speed. The greens are bumpy in the afternoon, you’re going to get that any time you’re in the afternoon wave, they’re always going to be a little bit bumpier than the morning,” Thomas stated.
Getting off to a good start is the key to playing well at the Copperhead Course. Thomas made 11/18 greens in regulations with a driving accuracy of 84.62%. The 14-time PGA Tour winner has a real chance to win the 2021 Valspar Championship. Can he deliver?
