"This is just a challenge..." - Justin Thomas speaks about his disappointing performance at the Open 2023

At the recently concluded Open 2023, American golfer Justin Thomas had a weak campaign that saw him miss the cut after the second round. Thomas struggled in the very first day of the event, hitting a round of 11 over 82. His scorecard included two birdies, five bogeys and three double bogeys.

The American is hoping to turn his fortunes at the upcoming 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. Thomas addressed his forgettable outing at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in a conversation with Golf Week. The 30-year-old said he was optimistic about turning things around in the upcoming event. Thomas said:

"I really feel like great things are coming. I have a lot of faith and belief in myself to know that this is just a challenge and an opportunity for me to grow and get better and really come out of this even better than I have been in the past."

US Ryder Cup 2023 captain Zach Johnson also expressed his concern over the former World No. 1 golfer's struggle with form. In an interview during the Open 2023, he said, as quoted by Golf Digest:

"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."

Justin Thomas will be seen in action at TPC Twin Cities for the 3M Open. He is paired with Joel Dahmen and Gary Woodland, and will tee off at 1:54 pm (ET) on July 27.
