First-tee announcer flubs Justin Thomas’ name to start Day 3 of U.S. Open

It would seem that being a first-tee announcer is a pretty easy gig. You read a few names, a few home towns, and call it a day. But if you do that 312 times over the first two days at the U.S. Open and another 150 or so times over the weekend, you’re bound to make a mistake.

“From Louisville, Kentucky, Justin Thompson.”

That’s actually Justin Thomas, the reigning PGA champion. Thomas responded with his best Travis Bickle “You talkin’ to me?” look. It obviously didn’t bother Mr. Thompson too much as he laced his opening tee shot and parred the first hole on Day 3 at The Country Club.
