Justin Thomas had to settle for a -22, T-2nd finish at the ZOZO Championship. Thomas started out hot, with birdies on 3 of the first 6 holes, but didn’t card another birdie until 18. That wasn’t enough to hold off Patrick Cantlay, who shot at 65 to win at -23. The T-2 finish marks Thomas’ 19th finish of 2nd or better in his career (13 wins, 2 T-1 losses in playoffs, and 4 2nd place finishes).
