Justin Thomas gets first PGA tour win in Malaysia

Nov 04, 2015 American Justin Thomas recently overcame a spirited challenge from former world number one Adam Scott to win his maiden PGA Tour title.

The 22-year-old, on his second Tour after a solid rookie season, was tied with compatriot Brendan Steele for the lead coming into the final round.

Thomas mixed an eagle, six birdies and a double bogey on the 14th for a six-under-par 66 that took him to a total of 26-under at the Asian Tour event.

On the other side, Adam Scott scorched the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club and climbed up the leaderboard with a round of nine-under-par 63, that included seven birdies and an eagle on the par-five third.

Thomas then needed a par on the par-five 18th to avoid a playoff with Adam Scott. He however made no mistake as her holed the putt to win his maiden silverware.
