I didn't get much out of it and was plotting along, and unfortunately I started to hit my hot streak right when the week was over, but obviously proud of the finish and happy with a really good week."

When Justin Thomas was asked if he remembered holing out in the last hole of the tournament. The PGA Tour pro replied:

"I don't think I've ever done it on the last hole of a tournament. Not that I -- I mean, I did it in Mexico there in the WGC, but it ended up going into a playoff so I played more holes. But no, I can't think of it."
