“A total failure” - Justin Thomas says it’s the 'lowest' he’s felt after crashing out of the US Open 2023

Justin Thomas said that it was the 'lowest' he felt in his career after crashing out of the US Open on Friday. Thomas finished T152 at the Los Angeles Country Club after carding 73 and 81 over two days, therefore missing the cut by 12 strokes.

Thomas has so far been struggling this season, as this was his second missed cut in a row. This was the second time he failed to make it to the Major's weekend this year. At the PGA Championship, he was close to the cutline as he finished T65 at Oak Hill.

Although he hasn't won a tournament for more than a year, the two-time PGA Championship winner felt LACC suited his style and gave him a 100% chance of winning the tournament.

"Yeah, it's definitely the lowest I've felt," Thomas was quoted saying as per ESPN. "It's pretty, honestly, humiliating and embarrassing shooting scores like that. At a golf course I really, really liked. I thought it was set up very well."

Thomas was quoted as saying via the Golf Channel:

"I was playing the best I’ve played in a really long time this week, so funny game, man. It can leave you speechless, both good and bad, and right now it's unfortunate. But once I’m able to reflect and figure out what I can learn and get better from, it’ll end up good. But it sucks right now."

Speaking with the media on Friday, Thomas said that he still had one major left this season to prove himself.

He said:

"If I go win the British Open, nobody even remembers that I’ve missed the cut by a zillion here, so I’ve just got to find a way to get better and learn from this, and if I can, I don’t have to look at this week as a total failure."

I have another major left. If I go win the British Open, nobody even remembers that I’ve missed… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://t.co/Af5g1aPzKo
