(CNN) World No. 3 golfer Justin Thomas has apologized for using a homophobic slur that was caught by television microphones at a PGA Tour tournament in Hawaii on Saturday. The incident occurred after Thomas missed a par putt during the Sentry Tournament of Champions' third round in Hawaii. "There's no excuse," Thomas told the Golf Channel in an on-air apology immediately after his round at the Kapalua Plantation Golf Course. But unfortunately I did it and I have to own up to it and I'm very apologetic.
