Highlights from the Thomas-Fowler left-handed match
Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler continue to keep fans entertained while no PGA Tour golf is being played.
The Florida residents were back on the course Thursday afternoon for their third documented round of the unscripted offseason while playing alongside Fowler's wife, Allison Stokke Fowler, and Thomas' dad, who's also his swing coach.
For Thursday's match, Thomas and Fowler decided to switch things up and play left-handed, in addition to wearing some extremely uncoordinated outfits.
Their left-handed swings are actually impressive.
Rickie and JT's lefty swings are 👌.
