Besides Thomas, five-time major champion Brooks Koepka, World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, and Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy also made appearances in the film.

Justin Thomas made an even par in his final round at the Open Championship after firing six birdies, four bogeys, and a double bogey. He scored a total of 3-under 281 across 72 holes and tied for 34th position with Jon Rahm, Sergio Garcia, and three other golfers. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler claimed the victory with 17-under.
