Thomas 勝利,勝つs BMW to move into FedEx Cup lead

Justin Thomas had a finishing touch, too.

The 26-year-old said he didn't let a rough stretch earlier this year or some misfortune during Sunday's final 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of the BMW 選手権 get in his way -- and all is good now.

Thomas fended off 挑戦者s with a strong 支援する nine on the way to a 4-under-par 68 to 勝利,勝つ at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago. This makes a wrist 傷害 seem far in the past.

"I knew I was going to come 支援する, and if I did everything and got healthy then I could play some good ゴルフ the 残り/休憩(する) of the year and I put in a lot of work to do so," Thomas said.

By winning for the first time this year, Thomas moves 頂上に the FedEx Cup standings going into the last of the PGA 小旅行する's three プレーオフ events next week at the 小旅行する 選手権 in Atlanta. Thomas was the 2017 FedEx Cup 支持する/優勝者.

"This season has been far from lows," he said. "Even when I was 傷つける, I 行方不明になるd three events and my life is 広大な/多数の/重要な."

And perhaps getting even better.

Thomas, who began the day ahead by six 一打/打撃s, finished at 25-under 263 for a three-発射 victory. He capped the tournament with a birdie.

"I've been hitting 広大な/多数の/重要な ゴルフ 発射s. I've been making 広大な/多数の/重要な strides with my putting," Thomas said. "I'm putting 井戸/弁護士席 if the ball isn't going in the 穴を開ける. I feel better over it and seeing my line better."

Patrick Cantlay was the 走者-up after a 65 put him at 22 under for the tournament. He's up to No. 2 in the FedEx Cup standings.

Hideki Matsuyama of Japan 発射 a 63 and ended up third at 20 under.

Tony Finau, who was in the final group with Thomas and Cantlay, wasn't a factor にもかかわらず playing the first six 穴を開けるs of the 支援する nine in 4 under. His 69 left him at 18 under in fourth place.

Thomas, who 地位,任命するd an 11-under 61 on Saturday, bogeyed Sunday's first 穴を開ける and didn't 選ぶ up a birdie until the par-5 fifth 穴を開ける.

But he has 回復するd such 信用/信任 that some slight shortcomings don't seem to de rail him.

"It's just understanding that it's ゴルフ and it's going to happen," he said.

Cantlay and others moved within striking 範囲.

"It's trying to make as many birdies as possible," Cantlay. "That would have been the 事例/患者 関わりなく how 井戸/弁護士席 (Thomas) was playing."

Cantlay also bogeyed the first 穴を開ける, but he was 5 under across the next nine 穴を開けるs to 削減(する) the 利ざや to two 一打/打撃s. Thomas 答える/応じるd with a birdie on the 11th 穴を開ける.

"I've felt like I've been playing 同様に as anybody," Thomas said. .".. Just talk to your caddie, stay relaxed."

They both birdied at Nos. 13 and 15. When Cantlay bogeyed at No. 16, the 利ざや was 支援する at four 一打/打撃s before Cantlay birdied the final two 穴を開けるs.

Finau saw countless incredible 発射s from Thomas during the 週末.

"You just shake your 長,率いる. Again, he's already playing 広大な/多数の/重要な," Finau said. "You just shake your 長,率いる and you're happy for guys that it can happen."

Matsuyama, the second-一連の会議、交渉/完成する leader who floundered in Saturday's third 一連の会議、交渉/完成する, turned out to be one of the prime pursuers in the 早期に 部分 of Sunday's 一連の会議、交渉/完成する by playing the 前線 nine in 5 under. Matsuyama's 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of 9 under 示すd the second time in three days that he 地位,任命するd a 63 for the lowest 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of the day.

Matsuyama needed only 20 putts Sunday.

Tiger 支持を得ようと努めるd 発射 a final-一連の会議、交渉/完成する 72 and won't 前進する to next week's season-ending event. It was his worst 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of the tournament and he finished tied for 37th at 7 under.

Because of 天候 関心s, the final 一連の会議、交渉/完成する was adjusted and tee times altered. The start of the 一連の会議、交渉/完成する was 延期するd, and then golfers went off the first and 10th tees in threesomes.
