Justin Thomas has flown under the radar some during the first two rounds of the US Open.

Also, the spotlight turned to Thomas when he made an incredible birdie putt on the par-4 5th hole while aiming away from the hole and not actually putting on the surface of the green.

Take a look at this roller-coaster ride of a putt below.

 

UPDATE:

That sideways putt was just the beginning.

Thomas is now deep in the midst of an outstanding round -- on the first nine holes, he shot a 31, tying him atop the leaderboard with the likes of today's incoming leaders.
