The dream of a trio of PGA Championship titles might already be over for Justin Thomas. The two-time competition winner has carded a five-over par in his third round, which leaves him far off the leading men.

However, despite his below-par performance, he’s managed to bring himself into the limelight of the fans this week. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his work with the golf club but rather his apparel that quickly caught the attention of the supporters, infuriating them!

Being a two-time victor at the major championship, great things were expected of the 30-year-old. However, Thomas struggled in dire conditions as he never managed to get going. So far, JT has failed to score under par at the PGA Championship, with round scores of 72, 73, and 75. While he managed to jump across the line to make the cut, another major championship seems to have swept away from Thomas.

Yet, many questioned his attitude towards the prestigious event during his time at the Oak Hills course. While there was nothing extraordinary about his dressing, Thomas wore his cap backward, which sent the wrong signal to the millions of fans watching the game.

Indeed, several enthusiasts accused him of disrespecting the PGA Championship in his attempt to look fashionable. Here’s a selection of those tweets:

Some netizens even recalled their own brushes against esteemed club members, who loathed the view of a backward cap. Here are those tweets:

It’s rather evident that his fashion choice didn’t sit well with the fans. And perhaps JT will keep that in mind for when he heads back onto the course next!

Yet that confidence seems to have ceased to yield results. Thomas hasn’t registered a single victory this season, with his best result being a fourth-place finish at the WM Phoenix Open in February.

Thomas hasn’t made his mark on the biggest stages either. He finished outside the top 50 at the Players Championship, while he failed to make the cut at the season-opening major championship, the Masters Tournament.
