We me only be a fortnight into 2017, but 23-year-old Justin Thomas has already taken 2017 by storm, having become the seventh player to break 60 on the PGA Tour just days after securing the Tournament of Champions title.
He is the youngest to have achieved that milestone on the circuit, which has come just months after newly crowned U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Jim Furyk set a new benchmark with a 58.
There it is.
