MEXICO CITY In four short days, Justin Thomas went from helpless to nearly unstoppable.After playing his first 36 holes even par and starting the weekend 11 off the pace, Thomas went 16 under Saturday and Sunday, closing with rounds of 62-64 to force extra holes against Phil Mickelson.His turnaround was even more impressive considering his Thursday assertion that his opening round 72 was probably the worst I've ever felt over the ball in my life.

"I believe my game's going to continue to get better each week, too. I don't think that this is the apex or the peak, I think I'm going to continue to get better. I'm working on the right things."
