Thomas goes crazy after hearing Alabama football made playoff
Justin Thomas didn't win Sunday at the Hero World Challenge, but he did get some really good news midway through his final round.
After finishing the par-3 eighth hole, Thomas' caddie informed the reigning PGA champion that Alabama snagged the final spot in the College Football Playoff.

Double fist pump. Claps his hands. Walks to the tee. Nukes his drive. Tosses his driver to his caddie. “Let’s Go!”
The 24-year-old found the fairway with his tee shot at No. 9, then dropped his 5-wood approach on the green for an eagle attempt.
Tosses his 5-wood inside 15 feet.

“I’m so f—king pumped right now.”
Thomas made the eagle putt at the ninth, then made four birdies and a double on the back nine to post a final-round 68.
