Justin Thomas used a homophobic slur during the third round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions on Saturday, and he apologized afterward.
“I screwed up,” Thomas told Golf Digest. “I have to be better. I will be better. I deeply apologize to everybody and anybody who was offended.
The incident occurred after Thomas missed a six-foot par putt on the fourth hole at Kapalua’s Plantation Course. After his ball slid by the cup, a greenside microphone picked up Thomas uttering the slur to himself. It could be heard on Golf Channel’s telecast. #JustinThomas
