After a disastrous opening round, Thomas surged back with an 11-birdie performance to shoot a 62 and climb into contention at The Players Championship.

Justin Thomas shot a 10-under-par 62 in the second round of The Players Championship, tying the course record set in 2023 by Tom Hoge.
Thomas made 11 birdies, setting a tournament record, and achieved a 16-shot improvement from his opening round of 78, the largest first-to-second round improvement in tournament history.
Despite a bogey on the 18th hole, Thomas vaulted from 134th place to a tie for 29th, putting him seven shots behind co-leaders Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia.
Thomas credited his mental focus and ability to stay present for his turnaround, emphasizing a shift in mindset after a frustrating first day.
