WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. He went
from no wins to World No. 1 in six weeks.
The capper? Scheffler waltzed over the
hills of Augusta National, in a performance
so dominating he four-putted the 72nd hole
for double-bogey—and still won by three.
Incredible!

Justin Thomas wins a
wild PGA Championship
After teaming with longtime Phil Mickel-
son caddie, Jim "Bones" Mackay, big things
were expected from Justin Thomas in 2022.
At the PGA Championship in May, JT
delivered — barely.
After a third-round 74, he stood seven
shots behind leader Mito Pereira. Thomas
clawed his way back with a 64-foot birdie
putt at 11, with another birdie at 12, and with
an up-and-down birdie at 17. He missed the
10-foot birdie putt at 18 after a brilliant ap-
proach, but shot 67 — and waited.
Sure enough, Pereira, the young Chilean,
came to the 72nd hole up by one, but shoved
his drive into a creek and made double
bogey. That left Thomas and Will Zalatoris
in a three-hole playoff.
Thomas birdied the first two holes and
when Willy Z. couldn't birdie 18, Thomas
picked up his second PGA Championship.
