Justin Thomas will be hoping to maintain his good form at this week's 2021 Valspar Championship.
 
The American star is one of the best golfers in the world and he is currently placed second in the Official World Golf Ranking.
 
Thomas is coming into the Valspar Championship in good form having finished T-15 or better in nine of his last 12 starts on the PGA Tour.

The former world number one will be looking to win his second trophy in 2021 having clinched the Players' Championship in March. 
 
Thomas shot a four-under 68 in the final round for 274 (−14) to win his first Players, one stroke ahead of runner-up Lee Westwood, the 54-hole leader.
 
The 27-year-old, who became the 21st player to top the Official World Golf Ranking in May 2018, has been able to carry his form from 2020 into 2021. 
 
Thomas clinched the Sentry Tournament of Champions and WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in 2020 and he will be keen to clinch his fourth trophy on the PGA Tour since last year.

The 2017 PGA Championship winner recently revealed the secret to his success having won 14 tournaments on the PGA Tour thus far. 
 
“I really make sure to be rested and in a good frame of mind and control it as much as I can control it,” Thomas said.
 
“And that way I feel like, if I don't have my best stuff, I can get it around. Because that's been some of my best and probably some of my golf I've been most proud of is when I've been able to get it around 
 
"And not have my best stuff and find myself in contention and winning golf tournaments, instead of just playing lights-out kind of thing.”
