5. Justin Thomas
It’s been feast or famine for this talented American golfer this season.
Thomas has won three tournaments during the 2016-17 PGA season and finished in the top 10 five times in 11 events played. He’s also missed the cut three times and finished outside the top 20 three other times.
Thomas’ last win came in January when he claimed victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii. He then placed in a tie for fifth last month at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, which featured a loaded field that included the likes of Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Jordan Spieth and others.
His claim to fame at Augusta is that he and Rickie Fowler (more on him shortly) shot back-to-back hole-in-ones during the Par-3 contest before last year’s major championship. Interestingly, it was a hole-in-one last month in Mexico that helped propel him to his fifth-place finish.
