Team Troon On Tour: Thomas low Team Troon at The PGA Championship. McIlroy Earns Top 10 and More
PGA TOUR- PGA Championship
This last week was the second major of the year in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, NY. The conditions were certainly challenging as all of the players had to overcome, wind, rain and more (thankfully ending with a sunny Sunday finish). Justin Thomas, the defending champion was low Team Troon member finishing T65. Other highlights this week included Troon Investor/Supporter Rory McIlroy getting another Top 10 in the major, finishing T7 with a four round total of -2 for the tournament. Well done.
- T65 Justin Thomas: 72-73-75-72 = 292 / +12
While not Team Troon per say, it was certainly exciting to see PGA Professional Michael Block get the hole in one in the final round and capture the hearts of fans enroute to his T15 finish. That performance was a great reminder of the fact that the PGA Championship is also a great week to reflect on all of the work our PGA Professionals execute each and every day throughout the World of Troon.
Fun Fact: Troon is the largest employer of PGA Professionals. We THANK EACH OF YOU (plus those working to make that your next career step) for all of our tireless efforts to grow the game and to grow the business for our clients/courses. THANK YOU!
