Watch: Justin Thomas' golfing family
"If anyone was destined to be a PGA Tour star, it was Justin Thomas"
As Justin Thomas celebrated winning his maiden major at the 2017 US PGA, his thoughts turned to family. And his is a golfing family.
“I just wish my grandfather was here to see this,” he said.
His grandfather was a PGA professional, as was his father Mike Thomas who first put the club in his hands and moulded the young golfer.
“I can’t play with him anymore — it’s no fun,” said Thomas father.
“This is pretty crazy, pretty surreal,” Mike Thomas said. “I never dreamed of him winning the PGA Championship. I’m just like any other parent. I hope he’s safe and I hope he’s happy. This is icing on the cake here. We are blessed to be where we are at today.”
