HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Justin Thomas never imagined using a round at the British Open as a tune-up for the 3M Open in Minnesota. But that’s where he’s at. Thomas was always going to miss the cut at Royal Liverpool after opening with an 82. He’s out of the top 70 who make the FedEx Cup. He’s out of range to make the Ryder Cup team. Thomas decided to play the final two weeks on the PGA Tour’s regular season to help change that. His slump is so severe he has only two top 10s this year. The last one was in March.
