<\/p>\n
Justin Thomas found some much-needed form ahead of the Ryder Cup as he shot a second round 67 in the Fortinet Championship.<\/p>\n
Sahith Theegala shot a 64 to tie SH Kim at 12-under-par on top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n
But it is the presence of Thomas, winless on the PGA Tour this season and reliant on a wildcard pick from Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson, four strokes back in a tie for sixth which caught the eye.<\/p>\n
Having hit just three fairways in an opening 69, Thomas switched to a longer driver he has been experimenting with in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI could tell in one video I was getting stuck underneath it,\u201d said the double major winner, who hit eight fairways in the second round. \u201cIf I drive it like I did today, I\u2019ll use it for the rest of my career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a good thought from just a little 10-minute range session that I felt like could get me through today and it worked pretty well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a part of what I think has made me as successful as I\u2019ve been in my career, I\u2019ve been very good at adjusting on the fly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019 fellow Ryder Cup player Max Homa was among those tied with him on eight-under-par, one better than a group including English duo Callum Tarren and Harry Hall.<\/p>\n
US Ryder Cup captain Johnson was among those to miss the cut.<\/p>\n
