Like so many other professional athletes right now, PGA Tour<\/a> stars Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler are just trying to stay busy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the PGA Tour currently on hiatus, it's understandable that players want to keep their games sharp. Since the coronavirus shut down the sports world, many players have documented that they're still putting in some work but JT and Rickie took things to a whole new level on Thursday, competing in their own “Lefty Championship”, resulting in some hilarious and incredible moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past Sunday, on what would have been the final day of The Players Championship<\/a>, Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas teed it up against one another in an effort to stay sharp. At the time, neither knew how long the game would be shut down and simply wanted to get a round in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While JT shot a solid 65, it was no match for his good friend. Fowler, who won The Players Championship in 2015, came amazingly close to a 59, missing out by just a shot with a 60. Even in the loss, Thomas said the pair had “a lot of fun” out there, even if he got “smoked” by his pal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real fun would come later in the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
