On Sunday evening when the wind was finally settling down, and the heat of the day was gone in Palm Beach Gardens, Justin Thomas calmly made a 4 birdie putt to win this Honda Classic for his 8th career victory and a spot at #3 in the world just ahead of his best pal Jordan Spieth.

As he often does he won it in style after sticking a wedge just outside the leather for a birdie on the 72nd, and then just smoking a utility wood well over 250 yards in the playoff, with water everywhere, onto the18th green and a birdie that Luke List just couldn't match.

With Tiger's run abruptly halted again by a bogey into the water at the 15th, then 3 putts on 16, I got to thinking who are the Big 3 now, or even who is the best.

Here are the OWR http://www.owgr.com/. Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Justin Rose, Hideki Matsuyama, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy in that order.

Back in 2016 the Big3 were Rory, Jason and Jordan, each having had their sensational summers, Rory in '14, Jason in '15 when he won the RBC Canadian then 3 of the next 5 only to lose Player of the Year to Jordan Spieth who won 5 times including 2 majors.

Since then Rory has struggled, much of that down to injury, Jason Day and his wife welcomed a new daughter after his sensational run, and he's only now starting to show some of that lost form, and Jordan has had his moments, he is the defending Open champion, but nowhere near as domineering as 2015.

Since 2016 Dustin Johnson has earned his #1 spot, when he is on form he simply looks unbeatable, but his future is still being written and will be defined by the majors. He of course won the US Open in 2016.

Jon Rahm has been the world's hottest golfer since late in 2017 with 3 wins and a couple of top 10's recently, while Justin Rose narrowly lost the Race to Dubai title after a 3 win run.

After a 2017 season of five victories, including his first major at the PGA Championship, topped by walking away with the Fed Ex Cup Justin Thomas has won twice this 2018 season, including the CJ Cup in Korea last fall.

I can't think of anyone who can top that right now, can you?
