Justin Thomas drops in Ryder Cup race after Open stumble

It hasn’t been a standout golf season for Justin Thomas. The 32-year-old did grab his first win since 2022 back in April, taking down Andrew Novak at the RBC Heritage.
Other than that, his year has been mostly average. In the four major tournaments, Thomas missed the cut twice. At the recent Open Championship, he made the cut but failed to finish inside the top 30.
To make matters worse, Thomas has now slipped out of the top six in the FedEx Cup standings. He was sitting in sixth before the Open, but Harris English’s strong runner-up finish vaulted him four spots up the rankings, pushing Thomas down to seventh.
