It might be the beginning of March, but Justin Thomas might’ve just delivered the shot of the year.
To cap off a miraculous turnaround – Thomas trailed by 11 shots to start the weekend, after saying he had never felt more uncomfortable with a golf club in his hands – Thomas has shot 62-64 on the weekend at the WGC-Mexico. All of that being true, nothing was more impressive than this shot from Thomas on the 72nd hole.

This might end up being a walk-off eagle hole-out for the win, and one of the most memorable shots in recent US PGA Tour memory. Thomas finished up with the leaders having a handful of more holes to play – so while that shot gave him a two-shot lead at the time, Phil Mickelson, Tyrrell Hatton and others still have a chance to match his 16-under total.
