Former University of Alabama golfer Justin Thomas concluded a strong third round at the ZOZO Championship in Japan on Saturday. Thomas finished three-under to shoot a 65 after making birdie on holes one, three and six.

Thomas's solid third round puts him into the final group on Sunday as he's tied for the lead at 18-under with Nico Echavarria and Max Greyserman.

If Thomas can win the ZOZO Championship it will be his first win since the 2022 PGA Championship.
