Thomas added a second Wanamaker Trophy to the one he captured in 2017 at Quail Hollow in the first playoff at the PGA Championship since 2011, when Keegan Bradley defeated Jason Dufner at Atlanta Athletic Club.
Thomas began the tournament with back-to-back 67s, despite getting the poor side of the draw.
He shot 74 on Saturday but closed with another 67 on Sunday.
