Justin Thomas endured a tough week at the U.S. Open, adding to a concerning stretch of form since his last PGA Tour win in April.

Thomas, who lifted the trophy at the RBC Heritage just a few months ago, hasn’t looked the same player since. And last week at Oakmont, he never got going, shooting back-to-back 76s to miss the cut by five strokes.

Even after missing out on the weekend, Thomas was back on the range Saturday, working through his struggles. Effort isn’t his issue, but there are plenty of others to sort out.

Speaking after his early exit, Thomas didn’t sugarcoat his recent major form: “It sucks. I haven’t been good enough.”

With just 10 weeks left in the season, finding answers is suddenly a pressing need.

There weren’t many positives for Thomas to take from Oakmont. He ranked 83rd in strokes gained off the tee, 116th on approach, 128th in scrambling, and 70th in putting. It was a rough showing across the board.

And beyond just one bad week, the wider trend is worrying. Golf journalist Dan Rapaport pointed out that Thomas has now missed the cut in seven of his last 13 majors.

“JT has played 13 majors since his win at Southern Hills, and he’s missed seven cuts,” Rapaport said. “That’s not good enough for a player of his calibre. He knows he’ll be judged by what he does in majors, and right now, there are too many missed opportunities.”

Thomas has made just six of the last 13 major cuts, a stat he’ll be determined to turn around before long.
