Justin Thomas is still in disbelief at how he missed making an ace at The American Express 2024. The two-time Major winner is preparing to tee off at the 2025 American Express this week. Ahead of the event, he reshared the PGA Tour's post about his unfortunate shot from last year's outing.

During the third round of the American Express 2024, Thomas nearly made an ace on the par-3 13th hole. On Wednesday, January 15, Justin Thomas shared his unfortunate shot from last year along with the caption:

In 2024, Thomas also opened up about his shot during the press conference of the tournament. He said (via ASAP Sports):

"I don't think I'm going to like it. I really, it's, like, it's weird. I've told Bones, I feel like I'm about to start holing some shots out. I've been close. And I feel like I am. It just looked great. As soon as it got on the ground and it was going to the hole, in my head, I'm like, this is going to go in. I really did think so."

However, despite the bad shot, he finished in T3 place at The American Express 2024.

Justin Thomas hopes to break his winless streak at The American Express 2025

Thomas had started his 2025 PGA Tour season at The Sentry and played four rounds of 71, 71, 68, and 63, tying for 26th place. Following that, he is playing this week at the American Express and hoping to break his winless streak. He last won the PGA Championship in 2022 and has since been looking for a victory.

During the press conference of the tournament on Wednesday, he talked about his next step in 2025, saying (via ASAP Sports):

"It's definitely win. It's putting myself in contention more often, getting in final groups, having sleeping on leads, just continuing to build and doing it more and more often. Yeah, getting way more of those."

"Obviously I did, I had a lot of good last year, and played solid golf, but it was a season without any trophies, and that's, I don't want to say not acceptable, but not, it's not my favorite thing in the world, I'll just say that. I just got to, yeah, keep plugging, keep working on what I'm working on, but, yeah, the next step is definitely winning, winning and winning more," he added.

The American Express 2025 will start with its first round on Thursday, January 16, and will have its final on Sunday, January 19.
