The first golf game for PlayStation Vita continues Sony's lighthearted sports series that began in 1998.He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays at West Byfleet Golf Club in Surrey, where his handicap index floats anywhere between 2-5. He has played 35 of our Top 100 golf courses, with his favourites being both Sunningdales, Woodhall Spa, Western Gailes, Old Head and Turnberry. His first Open was in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, when he walked inside the ropes with Jordan Spieth during the Texan's memorable Claret Jug triumph. He covered the 2022 Masters from Augusta National as well as four Open Championships on-site including the 150th at St Andrews. He manages the Golf Monthly news, features, courses and travel sections as well as our large Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. ![]() He's currently 75th in the standings so a good week should get him into the first week's BMW Championship, where he'll be hoping to progress into the top 30 to make week three's season-ending Tour Championship.Įlliott Heath is our Senior Staff Writer and has been with Golf Monthly since early 2016 after graduating with a degree in Sports Journalism. Thomas plays in this week's 3M Open as well as next week's Wyndham Championship in the hope of making it into the top 70 for the Playoffs. "I might be slightly concerned, like I said, as a friend, but I'm not worried about him because I know what he does and I know what he's capable of." "Guys with talent like that that work and aren't afraid to put their work in the dirt, if you will, not to be cliche, typically find it. Let's hope whatever sort of non-peak he's in, it's short. "Bottom line is this game is really hard. Those kind of moments like that, he's one of the best there is. I don't know his record off the top of my head, but I know it's pretty good. "Yeah, obviously he's a stalwart in that event, right. "Well, as a friend and roommate, I'm concerned just because he's my buddy and I know what he's capable of and that sort of thing," Johnson said of Thomas' form. If he does need a pick, JT will surely be one of the first names out of Zach Johnson's mouth. I've tried so hard to make that team for the first time. It reminds me a lot of my first or second year on Tour. I'm probably honestly trying too hard to do it. "I want to make the Ryder Cup more than anything. "I'm just making so many bonehead mistakes and crazy things happening, and I'll be fine. "I'm hitting a lot of good shots," Thomas said at The Open, where he followed up an 82 with a 71 in round two. JT is the kind of guy who has shown he can handle that kind of pressure, while there is no guarantee someone else could even though they might have been on better form. Team match play events require more than just recent form - especially when you're away from home, where you haven't won since 1993. Catriona Matthew picked Suzann Pettersen in 2019, the out-of-retirement Norwegian who went on to hole the winning putt on Sunday afternoon. Thomas Bjorn surprisingly picked Sergio Garcia in 2018, despite the Spaniard missing his last five consecutive Major cuts. Ryder Cup 18-hole match play is very different to 72-hole stroke play and he's proved time and time again that he's a man you want on your team. He still has four events left (two if he doesn't make the Playoffs) to try and qualify for the team without the need of a pick.Įven if he doesn't make the Playoffs, Thomas should be considered. Thomas has become an integral part of Team USA over the past five years and a few bad results in Majors this year shouldn't put an end to his hopes. ![]()
