Proud Dad Justin Thomas backs himself for Valspar Championship glory: "One more round to bring it home"

Justin Thomas is oozing confidence heading into the final round of the Valspar Championship 2025. The American golfer is playing this week at the PGA Tour event, and after three rounds, he just finished two strokes behind the leaders.

This week at the Valspar Championship, Justin Thomas also grabbed people's attention as his caddie has "Molly's dad" written on his bib instead of the player's name. Thomas has welcomed his first child, Molly, in November 2024, and this week, the proud dad is competing to win the title.

The two-time Major winner shared some of the pictures from the Valspar Championship ahead of the final round on his Instagram account along with a caption that says:

"Molly’s Dad was firing on all cylinders today! One more round to bring it home. Let’s get it!"
