The photo that sent social media into a frenzy depicted JT in a hilarious moment during his round at the Wyndham Championship. Sporting a baby pink tee, white shoes, cap, and golf glove, JT found himself lying on the ground, far from his club after his chip had just missed the hole.

The disappointment in his expression was palpable, capturing the essence of golf’s unpredictable nature. The tweet was captioned: “Me, after seeing the JT chip video for the 7,346,972nd time in the last 25 minutes.”

JT needed a solo third-place finish or better at the Wyndham Championship to secure a spot in the FedEx playoffs but luck seemed to elude him that day. Justin Thomas, who was tied for 11th after the 3rd round, ended up falling to 16th position after the final day.

The miss resulted in him failing to meet the requirements for the first time in his career, adding a hint of irony to the already humorous moment. Moments like these make golf the truly adventurous sport it is.

Laughter and Empathy Abound After the Miss!

In true internet fashion, golf fans responded with witty and lighthearted reactions to the moment of Justin’s miss. One fan quipped, suggesting JT’s golfing prowess might now be better suited for a different role.

“The competition within the FedEx points race creates moments like that,” another fan highlighted the pressure that comes with the FedEx playoffs.

Others couldn’t resist making light of the situation, joking, “If I just replay it enough, it goes in? Right?” and advising JT not to post the clip himself.

Amidst the laughter, there were words of encouragement, with fans playfully noting, “He’ll make a great assistant captain.”

Others found themselves late to the party.

Another user was real as well as blunt with a simple comment: “Play Better”
