Golf legend Lee Trevino spoke in favour of Justin Thomas' selection
Justin Thomas was the 12th man pick for team USA. He was picked by captain Zach Johnson for the upcoming Ryder Cup. Although Thomas has a decent record, the 12th man is considered as the weakest golfer in the team.
However, veteran Lee Trevino doesn't agree with this assesment and believes Thomas is a capable golfer who can contribute immensely to his team. Trevino featured on the SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio and spoke about the upcoming Ryder Cup.
"Most of the time, your No. 12 guy is weak. You know, I know that Justin hasn’t been playing very well but he’s not a weak player. He's won two PGA’s, he's won 13 tournaments, and he's got experience."
Lee Trevino stated via SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio.
Trevino is one of the most experienced golfers around and his advice has always been on point. Aditionally, the veteran also offers playing advice regularly to all the aspiring golfers.
