So what happens when Justin Thomas borrows Max Homa’s right-hand man for a week at Harbour Town? Apparently, he wins the damn RBC Heritage and breaks the internet while doing it.

A Little JT Sauce Is Back

Let’s not kid ourselves—JT hadn’t exactly been setting the Tour ablaze this season. He was giving us “trying too hard at the member-guest” energy. Then Hilton Head rolled around, and suddenly the swing was silky, the putter woke up, and the swagger came sauntering back like it never left.

Coincidence? Maybe.
Joe Greiner? Definitely not.

Joe Greiner: Max’s MVP, JT’s Temporary Flame?

Greiner’s been Homa’s bag whisperer through thick, thin, and occasional shirtless Instagram thirst traps. But this week, he stepped in for JT and instantly looked like he’d been scripting wedges with him since the junior golf days.

It wasn’t just that JT won—it was how he won. Calm, clean, composed. Greiner read putts like a tarot card reader on a hot streak and talked JT into trusting lines that had previously been sending him into an existential spiral.

And now, the spicy part…

Greiner or Bones: JT’s Real “Will He, Won’t He?”

Look, Bones has been JT’s guy. The sage veteran. The Cup-winning, major-reading, Phil-fighting legend. But let’s be real—something’s been off. Whether it’s vibes, reads, or just the inevitable fade of a once-golden partnership, JT’s looked twitchy and overcooked at times.

Then along comes Greiner. Younger, looser, full of “don’t overthink it” energy. It’s like JT traded in a Lexus for a rented Tesla and suddenly remembered how fun it is to floor it.

If JT doesn’t at least consider making this permanent, it’s malpractice. Sure, Bones is a Hall of Fame looper, but chemistry is chemistry. Golf’s not a résumé game—it’s a feel game. And JT just felt like JT again.

Harbour Town Was No Fluke

This course exposes the fakes. You don’t fluke your way around Harbour Town. You hit shots, you shape it, you think. And JT, with Greiner in his ear, looked like a guy who finally got out of his own way.

Greiner brought the good vibes. JT brought the game. And together, they brought the W.

Final Thought

This wasn’t just a win. It was a wake-up call. For JT. For Bones. For Homa, who might want to put a padlock on Greiner’s travel bag before things get weird.

One win doesn’t mean JT’s back for good. But if he is? Don’t be surprised if Greiner’s the guy throwing the pin when it happens.
