WASHINGTON: Justin Thomas captured his 10th career US PGA title on Sunday , holding off fellow American Patrick Cantlay down the back nine to win the BMW Championship in record-smashing fashion.
Thomas fired a four-under par 68 to finish 72 holes at Medinah on 25-under 263, shattering the former mark of 23-under at the 116-year-old event shared by American Dustin Johnson and Australian Marc Leishman. Thomas will start at 10-under par with a two-stroke lead over second-place point producer Cantlay in next week's event under a new points format that ensures the tournament winner will capture the playoff crown."I'm just going to go out there and try and play as well as I can," Thomas said."I'm going to try not to look at the leaderboard. I've got to drive the ball a whole lot better than I did this week.
But Finau's 69 was not enough for him to overtake Bryson DeChambeau for the final automatic berth on the US team for December's Presidents Cup in Australia, qualifying for which ended Sunday.Thomas opened with a bogey and even with tap-in birdies at the par-5 fifth and seventh holes saw his lead shrink to only two over Cantlay after he also made bogey at 10.
Thomas and Cantlay each birdied 15 and Cantlay botched a four-foot par putt at 16 to leave Thomas four ahead with two holes remaining.
