“This is a fitting way to end a very bizarre year,” said Justin Thomas, who won twice on the PGA Tour in 2020, year of the Coronavirus pandemic. “I was just thinking about that, and this is really special.
“I can see why so many guys plays in this tournament every year with members of their families. This is the highlight of the year. We had so much fun.”
Said Mike Thomas, who is a PGA teaching pro: “I was very nervous yesterday, because I don’t usually do this. But for some reason, I was really relaxed today and it was very enjoyable. It was a special couple of days.”
