Justin Thomas Could Have Really Used The Lad Who Ripped Ass During Scottie Scheffler's Shot On This Putt That Stopped A Millimeter Short

He would desperately like to avoid missing the cut in 3 out of the 4 majors this season, so obviously every single stroke at Royal Portrush matters this morning. He looks like he's in a pretty good spot right now after starting his morning dash 1. But it could have been a quick -2 on the day if there was just a little more breeze on hole 3.
Golf is a game of inches. I guess when you're playing across the pond, it's a game of millimeters.
You have a tiny little ball, you have a tiny little hole, and you have 176 yards between the two of them to navigate while hitting the ball as few times as possible. It doesn't matter if it only takes you 2 strokes to go 175.999 yards. That one millimeter could be the difference between finishing inside the top 20, or another major performance where you're not even in contention.
So it just sucks that the best fart of the week was wasted on this Scottie Scheffler shot during his opening round on Thursday. Because if anybody could have used just an extra gust of wind out there, it was Justin Thomas on 3.
Justin Thomas was just one hellacious fart away from heading into the weekend in a position to really attack the leaderboard. Unfortunately for him, everybody watching his round today has a well-balanced diet.
I don't know, man. It's Friday. It's The Open. There's not really much else going on in the world of sports. This is a blog about how somebody should have farted on Justin Thomas' ball so he could make birdie on 3. Let's just try to get to the weekend, shall we?
