Chronicle EditorNORTON . — Justin Thomas fired a final round five-under 66 to win his fifth tournament of 2017, outduelling fellow American golfer Jordan Spieth on the back nine at the Dell Championship on Monday.
The two Americans battled hard down the stretch until Spieth saw his hopes dashed on the fairway at 18 when his approach sailed right and landed in a large bunker. His next shot travelled clear across the green as he finished with a bogey six on the hole.
Thomas completed the second tournament of the PGA Tour playoffs with a 17-under 267 total for a three-shot victory which propelled him into second place in the FedExCup standings behind Spieth.
“I have had a great year, just two more events to finish it off,” said Thomas. — AFP.
