"Bag Man is back" - Fans react as Justin Thomas is one shot off the lead after a birdie at Wells Fargo Championship

The American golfer Justin Thomas produced an impressive on the second day of the Wells Fargo Championship. With 67 strokes, seven under par, six birdies and two bogeys, Thomas improved his performance and is now in second place, just one stroke behind the leaders.

But what happened in the second round was beyond impressive, because Thomas almost reached the first place when he got a tap-in birdie on hole 4, with only five holes left to finish the day.

In that last segment of the competition, Thomas got two more birdies (holes 6 and 8). However, Tyrrell Hatton, Nate Lashley and Wyndham Clark, also had good performances and climbed to the first place.

Thomas remains second at just one stroke back, tied with Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun and Adam Scott.

Thomas' performance at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Wells Fargo Campionship, did not leave his fans indifferent, who immediately reacted on social networks.

Let's take a look at some of what they posted on Twitter:
