“That was the hardest round of golf that I can remember, major, non-major, it was just insane. The wind wasn’t really the direction it was supposed to be or kind of forecasted to be for kind of like half the day and that usually isn’t something that happens when it’s at 25, 20, 25 miles an hour.
“It was just hard. You don’t have a bail out on half your shots out here so you have a lot of shots over water and you’re like, well, I hope it’s helping or I hope it’s not hurting.

“But everybody’s dealing with the same thing, but, man, it was brutal.“
Justin Thomas comments on J.T. Poston’s 65 on Friday at Memorial
Thomas took to his official X account to post a message about J.T. Poston’s sensational round of 65 at Muirfield Village on Friday.
“I don’t think I can put into words how good J.T. Poston’s round was today,” he said.
“I’m out there trying to figure out where and how I can make ONE birdie, let alone shooting -7!
“Today was probably the most difficult round I’ve played on tour. On to the weekend!“
Poston’s round was truly exceptional.
The next lowest score on Friday was 69, which shows just how impressive the 33-year-old’s 65 really was.
Justin Thomas was stunned by Poston’s round and the fact that he was able to shoot 65 probably made the two-time major champion feel even worse about his 75!
