Matt Wiley sees strong potential in Justin Thomas at The Masters, primarily due to Thomas' exceptional short game and elite iron play, despite some lingering issues off the tee. Wiley emphasized Augusta's demanding greens and short game conditions, noting multiple pros highlighting the course as extremely challenging from inside 30 yards rather than off the tee. He pointed out that Thomas, even through his struggles handling the driver and putter recently, has never lost his elite hands and incredibly creative short game, crucial traits historically successful at The Masters. Wiley also referenced a significant bounce-back performance at the recent Valspar Championship where Thomas' iron play notably returned to form, narrowly missing victory, suggesting he's returning to elite ball-striking levels at just the right time for a run at Augusta. While acknowledging Thomas hasn't won recently and some driver issues persist, Wiley confidently summarized that Thomas possesses the exact skillset required for competing at this uniquely challenging and creative course environment.
