The 11-year-old, Will Sorenstam, is a left-handed golfer with skill just like his golfing star mother. A recent viral video saw Justin and Will battle it out on the course to see who had the “straightest drive.” The two had chosen a flag in the distance and needed to drive the ball straight over it.

Thomas was playing at the PNC for the third time in a row alongside his father, Mike Thomas. The pair won the 2020 PNC championship and are attempting to reclaim their title this year.

Little Sorenstam began their challenge as he swung his club, striking the ball perfectly. Thomas saw his shot and hilariously said, “Okay… Alright, I lose.” The pro golfer, on the other hand, could have easily played that shot in his sleep, but that’s where it got tricky. The challenge for the one-time major winner was to do it left-handed.

Justin then positioned his tee in preparation for his shot. Annika cheered him on, offering him advice and even suggested he take an iron instead. But Thomas wasn’t worried about the kind of club he was holding; he knew it was the technique that mattered. The PGA Tour star was feeling “uncomfortable” with the club in his left hand. He swung and saw the ball miserably fly all over the place.
As he watched himself lose, Justin said, “That’s why I’m a right-handed golfer right there.” Justin and Mike quickly left after wishing Annika and Will good luck in the tournament and continued on their way. Will then went up to the producer, who asked him who won the challenge. He proudly responded, pointing to himself, “Me.”
