PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Justin Thomas may be going from the frying pan to the fire of Tiger Woods pairings.Translation: Hes going from being grouped with Woods last week in the first two rounds at the Genesis Open to being grouped directly in front of Woods this week at the Honda Classic.Which might be even worse than playing with him, Thomas said Wednesday.Typically, the pairing in front of Woods deals with a lot of gallery movement, with fans racing ahead to get in position to see Woods next shot.Thomas was quoted after two rounds with Tiger at Riviera saying fans got a little out of hand, and saying its disappointing some golf fans today think its so amusing to yell and all that stuff while were trying to hit shots.With 200,000 fans expected this week at the Honda Classic, and with the Goslings Bear Trap pavilion setting a party mood at the 16th green and 17th tee, that portion of the course figures to be quite lively at PGA National.

Thomas was asked about that.I touched on this a little bit last week, Thomas said. I think it got blown out of proportion, was just taken out of context, and worded differently than how I said it or meant it.I love the fans. The fans are what I hope to have a lot of, what all of us hope to have a lot of. We want them cheering us on. But it's those certain fans that are choosing to yell at the wrong times, or just saying stuff that's completely inappropriate.Thomas said its more than ill-timed shouts. Its the nature of some things being said.It's one thing if it's just you and I talking, but when you're around kids, when you're around women, when you're around families, or just around people in general, some of the stuff they are saying to us is just extremely inappropriate, he said. Theres really no place for it anywhere, especially on a golf course.I feel like golf is pretty well known as a classy sport, not that other sports aren't, but it has that reputation.Thomas said the nature of the 17th hole at PGA Nationals Champion Course makes it a more difficult tee shot than the raucous 16th at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Typically, players like to hear fans get into the action before or after they hit shots. Ill-timed bluster, however, makes a shot like the one at Hondas 17th even tougher.That hole is hard enough, Thomas said. I don't need someone yelling in my ear on my backswing that I'm going to hit it in the water, to make it any harder. I hope it gets better, just for the sake of the game. That's not helping anything. That's not helping grow the game.Those who follow golf know an ill-timed shout in a players backswing is different than anything a fan says at a football, basketball or baseball game. An ill-timed comment in a backswing has a greater effect on the outcome of a competition.Just in terms of how much money we're playing for, how many points we're playing for ... this is our jobs out here, and you hate to somehow see something that a fan does, or something that they yell, influence something that affects [a players] job, Thomas said.
The U.S. has one in the Top 10, four in the Top 20, six in the Top 30, fifteen in the Top 50, and twenty-four in the Top 100. So, the U.S. has roughly double the talent level. Yeah, it's probably that bad. By comparison, Korea has four in the Top 10, nine in the Top 20, thirteen in the Top 30, eighteen in the Top 50, and thirty-nine in the Top 100.

In response to some heavy rain, the USGA has decided to cut back on that rough. The USGA's Darin Brevard said that the knocked down fescue from storms earlier in the week "would be unplayable" and that they had not planned on cutting anything before Tuesday morning.
