To put it mildly, Justin Thomas<\/a> had a rough week at the 123rd edition of the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a fairly easy scoring day on the par-70 layout at Los Angeles Country Club on Thursday, a day during which a new U.S. Open single-round scoring record<\/a> was set, JT opened his week with a 3-over 73. And things just got worse from there as the two-time major champion followed it up with an 11-over 81 on Friday, marking the second-worst round of his PGA Tour<\/a> career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 14-over at the midway point, Thomas obviously missed the cut and scored better than just three players in the 156-man field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite missing the weekend in a major for the second time this season (he also missed the cut at the Masters), Thomas was still heavily invested in the outcome of the tournament, no doubt thanks to the fact that one of his best friends on tour, Rickie Fowler, was in contention to win his first major championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, like an everyday golf fan, Thomas took to social media on Saturday and Sunday to offer up his thoughts on the action at LACC. Sunday was particularly entertaining as he and Max Homa<\/a>, who also loves his social media, hung out and drank a little wine as the final round played out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JT even went so far as to predict what would happen over the final 18 holes. But just as his own week went, Thomas was off the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Thomas was way off predicting the final round of the U.S. Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Front 9 full of fireworks. I think Xander makes a run, Rory gets off to a hot start, becomes a 2 man battle between Rory and Rick. Whoever plays 13-16 the best is in the driver seat. My guess is Rick gets it done at -11. Excited to watch!<\/p>— Justin Thomas (@JustinThomas34) June 18, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
