WATCH: Justin Thomas makes absurd up and down from hazard during first-round match against Luke List
Ah, the joys of match play.
With Luke List staring down a birdie putt, Justin Thomas descended into the hazard short of No. 9 at Austin Country Club during their opening round WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play showdown for what spectators assumed was a desperation attempt at salvaging the hole.
The Midnight Troubadour
Tough and timeless, this polo is built for the long ride. Featuring a crisp, non-collapsing collar and a rugged, stretchy fabric, it's the perfect shirt for any cowboy's wardrobe.

Thomas would go on to make the par putt to halve the hole and remain 3 up against List. If watching Thomas get up and down wasn’t back-breaking enough for List, he had worse problems to deal with: he bent his putter on the 7th hole and was forced to use a wedge on the greens the rest of the round.
