Two time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas is back home to chase a third Wannamaker trophy next week at Louisville's pristine Vahalla Golf Club. He spent Monday morning playing a preview round to experience several changes to the course ahead of the May 16-19 tournament. After golf, JT appeared with his family at a dedication ceremony for his new building banner at 1941 Bishop Lane.
