In a recent interview, Justin Thomas opened up about the challenges faced by players during the Ryder Cup, particularly regarding the conditions of the greens. He revealed that there were instances where the grounds crew engaged in heated discussions with players about the speed of the greens, which added to the pressure of the tournament.
"It was a tough situation for everyone involved," Thomas explained. The Ryder Cup is known for its high stakes and intense atmosphere, and the added layer of contention regarding course conditions only amplified the stress for the players.
As the golf community reflects on the event, Thomas's comments shed light on the complexities of managing a major tournament and the expectations placed on both players and course staff.
