WATCH: Justin Thomas holes out from fairway of 18th hole at WGC Mexico Championship

Justin Thomas is the hottest golfer in the world. But even with that in mind, he finished Sunday’s round at the WGC Mexico Championship in a completely unforeseen way.

Thomas sat in the 18th fairway in a four-way tie for the lead. But with the other three players behind him, Thomas needed a birdie to have a realistic chance. He went one better.

The shot gave Thomas a two-shot lead.

Thomas already has an impressive list of accomplishments on tour, especially for such a young player. But holing that shot out to secure a 62-64 finish is at or near the top, especially if it holds up as the winning shot.
