Justin Thomas tweets about his insane goal

The famous PGA Tour professional is a part of the field this week at the 2022 St. Jude Championship. Moreover, after completion of his first round, Thomas made a couple of tweets regarding his latest goal. His tweet was about conversing with his fiance and fellow players about the time he would take to run a mile. But, the catch is that he wants to do it without any training, as the American professional calls it,No training nothing just a random Tuesday I go out and run one mile as fast as I can (I’m v slow), what could I run it at?”

As usual, the tweet caught the eyes of various golf fans all over the world. However, his best pal, Jordan Spieth, and fellow professional Sam Burns portrayed their optimism about Justin being able to achieve the goal. At the same time, Thomas also acknowledged the same and had a friendly banter with the two Tour pros.

Thomas replied to his earlier tweet and wrote, “Shoutout to 2 answers today one of which being  @JordanSpieth saying “you could do it under 10 minutes” thanks a lot man!!!!!.” At the same time, he made a rather funny comment about Sam Burns. He wrote, And the other end of the spectrum @Samburns66 thinking long and hard about it… “6:00”. I like you more than I thought Sam.”

The comments about Spieth may not be unusual for the fans, as the two famous personalities in golf have been friends since the early parts of their lives. But Thomas’ comments about Sam Burns may come as a surprise. However, only time will tell if the 29-year-old will be able to run a mile in the time guessed by Burns.
