“Justin Thomas said after shooting a 5-under-par 65 to post 5 under as the leader in the clubhouse in the PGA Championship Sunday at Aronimink Golf Club.”
DISPUTED
The claim states Justin Thomas posted a 65 to lead the clubhouse at the PGA Championship at Aronimink. However, the evidence from Wikipedia and web search regarding the PGA Championship at Aronimink (the 2026 edition) explicitly states that it was won by Aaron Rai, who was the one to finish with a 'brilliant Final Round 65' and set the clubhouse lead at 9-under. There is no evidence that Justin Thomas shot a 65 or led the clubhouse at this specific venue.
