This week at the RBC Heritage, which began with the inaugural round on Thursday, April 17, Thomas took the lead in the game after 36 holes and is in contention to win on the circuit. In the post-round press conference of the 2025 RBC Heritage, he talked about his struggle to win on the Tour again.

Thomas came close to a victory over the years. In fact, in the 2025 season only, he had two close calls but ended up with runner-up finishes. Speaking of the reasons for his struggle to win on the Tour, Thomas said, via ASAP Sports:

"I'd say the majority of it has just been pressing and trying too hard. It's so -- I mean, all of us, I would assume, want to win so bad and I want to win so bad. I'm sick of getting asked. I almost feel like I'm kind of past the point where fortunately you all have stopped asking me, which is nice, but I would also prefer to get that over with."

Meanwhile, on the back nine, Thomas made a bogey and two birdies for a perfect round of 2-under 69. In the post-round press conference on Friday, the two-time major winner reflected on his performance and said, via ASAP Sports:

"The golf course felt completely different. It's definitely firming up. We even noticed it just kind of on some chips, the pitch shots, like some wedges, the balls. Shots that I felt like I hit very nicely, and it just doesn't -- it's not spinning as much. They're getting crusty, and it's fun."

Justin Thomas has had a pretty impressive performance on the PGA Tour this season. He started the campaign with a T26 finish at The Sentry and then settled in solo second finish at The American Express. He has played in nine tournaments and recorded four finishes in the top 10 this season.
