Woods and Thomas shared an interesting moment off the ninth tee as the senior smacked his drive farther than the younger player, despite not playing a competitive round in nearly a year and having numerous bodily ailments.
Thomas has three more events after the Travelers Championship concludes before the British Open gets underway on July 14 at the famed St. Andrews Old Course in Scotland.
Thomas tees off in the morning group for Friday's second round. He starts at 6:29 a.m. with Viktor Hovland (E) and Tony Finau (+3). His round can be viewed on the Peacock App or on USA Network beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Friday.
