How exactly was he fortunate? That chip in on 13 and shot and putt on 17 were about as clutch as it gets. If you want to think he won only because others faltered you are welcome to, but Justin played a great round and made a ton of clutch shots. It's not like he won shooting a 73.

Do you always take things out of context? Did you read my full comment about him having a chance to be ELITE and is a good golfer with a chance to win a lot of tournaments?

But since you want specifics, you need to look at hole #10 for Birdie.

USA TODAY headline "Justin Thomas had the best reaction after a super lucky birdie at the PGA Championship" USA TODAY - WATCH IT It started off the tee, when Thomas pulled a drive left only to see it bounce off the tree and into the fairway. His ball bounced around a greenside bunker on his approach, and then, as it looked like his birdie putt would get hung up on the lip, it dropped into the hole about 12 seconds later after it came to rest.

Want more? Thomas’ putt on the par-4 10th hole rolled up to the left side of the cup, hanging over the edge. Thomas briefly pointed for the ball to go in, then started walking away. After 12 seconds, the ball dropped in the cup for a birdie that lifted him into a tie for second place at the PGA Championship. He has since moved to the top of the leaderboard at 8 under with a 2-stroke lead NEW YORK POST - GOLF GODS INTERVENE

ETA: He just beat the the 10 second rule, because it also included the time to walk to the ball. Would have cost him one stroke, but that put him in great position and let him know it was his day.
