Justin Thomas Misses Masters Cut After Crashing and Burning on Last Four Holes
In this story:Justin Thomas strolled up to the 15th tee box Friday at Augusta National in good position.
Through 32 holes of the 2024 Masters Tournament, Thomas was even par. He just had to get past the final four holes with the cutline hovering around five over par.
But then disaster struck.
Thomas found the water on his third shot of the 15th hole and settled for a double-bogey 7. On the par-3 16th hole, Thomas landed his tee shot in the bunker and three-putted for another double-bogey 5.
The bad luck continued on the par-4 17th hole. Thomas missed a six-foot putt for par and tapped in for bogey. And on the par-4 18th hole, Thomas sent his tee shot into the trees, chipped onto the fairway and then two-putted from nine feet to finish his round with yet another double-bogey.
