Thomas Goes Wire-to-Wire to Claim Third Chicago Adaptive Open Crown

Moments after Jordan Thomas (Nashville, Tenn. / Impairment in Both Legs) sank his final putt on the 18th green at Fox Bend Golf Course in Oswego on Sunday, he shook hands with his playing partners and volunteers, acknowledged the nearby crowd of spectators and players and answered a few questions for the YouTube live stream.

He had just captured the Men’s Overall title in the 3rd Chicago Adaptive Open presented by Illinois Bone & Joint Institute, capping off the wire-to-wire victory with a 3-under 69, finishing three shots ahead of Josh Williams (Canada / Leg Impairment Below the Knee) amidst blustery conditions. But amongst the numerous people he approached after his win, one in particular stood out.

Lukas Woolley, 7, a leg amputee from La Grange Park, Ill. and his mother, Karolina, were also waiting nearby, and when they met with Thomas, he proceeded to hand young Lukas the winning golf ball. An elated Lukas accepted the gift, and Jordan was left with a moment he may remember even more than the win itself.

“It was such an awesome surprise,” said the 37-year-old Thomas. “That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about having an impact on this earth. I’m blessed to be able to do what I do. To see him and have him here is just the cherry on top.”
