World number two Justin Thomas has said that he plans to take it easy on himself as he bids to win a second major title at the US Open.

He won the Players Championship in March, but has failed to record a top-10 finish since, missing the cut in last month’s US PGA Championship, the event he won at Quail Hollow in 2017.
