Justin Thomas roasts Kisner, Georgia football fans

Justin Thomas has been on the road a lot lately playing golf, but he always keeps a close eye on Alabama football.

The Crimson Tide alum had an unbelievable 2016-17 campaign, claiming his first major title at the PGA, while also walking away with the FedEx Cup and the $10-million bonus. He's currently leading the CJ Cup in South Korea thanks to a first-round 63, but plans to take a break after the event, and attend a couple of football games during his downtime in Tuscaloosa.

With Alabama and Georgia both sitting at 7-0, and on a collision course for the SEC Championship in December, Thomas was asked if he and Bulldog alum Kevin Kisner would watch the potential showdown together.

"Yeah, you know, Kiz and sometimes those Georgia fans think ahead, and that's what's nice about having (Nick) Saban as your coach, you only focus on that next game," Thomas told Rich Lerner of the Golf Channel. "So I'm just worried about beating Tennessee, and then we'll go from there."

Thomas has a point, as Georgia's last trip to the conference title came in 2012, when it lost 32-28 to Saban and the Crimson Tide.
