Justin Thomas shot a 2-under-par 68 in Sunday’s final round at the Wyndham Championship to finish tied for 12th, but finished 71st on the season-long FedEx Cup points list. He will miss the FedEx Cup playoffs.
This brings us to the question, especially after Thomas admitted Saturday that being at Marco Simone means more to him than making it to Memphis , of whether or not this week was enough for United States captain Zach Johnson to make Thomas one of six captain’s picks.
Let’s first remove the notion that this was a binary decision, that Johnson would have picked Thomas if the flag stick had been pulled on 18 Sunday and the ball drops in to get him into the top 70, but because it wasn’t he’ll be sitting at home … that’s nonsense. It’s a much larger picture than that, with a multitude of factors.
Johnson, no doubt, was looking for a reason to pick Thomas, with his sterling team golf record and tight partnership with Jordan Spieth, and there was probably enough there to solidify that call. Golf Digest’s Joel Beall has floated the theory that this week’s announcement of Stewart Cink as a fifth vice captain means Thomas is already on the team, since that spot could have been kept open for Thomas as a way to give him a role even if he was not playing. I can see that.
The top 50 golfers after the St. Jude Championship will move on to the BMW Championship outside Chicago, with the top 30 advancing to the Tour Championship in Atlanta the last weekend of August. The total bonus pool for this year’s FedEx Cup playoffs is $75 million.
