On Saturday, fans were treated to an enthralling day of golf at TPC Sawgrass, with Xander Schauffele firing a seven-under-par round of 65 to lead by one going into the final day of The Players Championship.
Starting the day, you could be forgiven for thinking that Wyndham Clark was going to run away with it, especially when he made a birdie at the opening hole. However, the US Open winner struggled on Saturday, with a two-under-par round, which included a ball ending up in the water on the 17th, putting Clark second and one back of his fellow countryman.
Despite the class on show, Schauffele hasn't won on the PGA Tour since the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open. On Saturday though, the American put himself in prime position to extinguish the 20 month wait for a title, with Schauffele carding seven birdies in a blemish-free round of 65.
As well as Schauffele and Clark, Open winner Brian Harman is just two shots back of the lead, with Harman producing an eight-under round of 64 to vault seven spots on the day.
The leaderboard at The Players Championship is stacked, with another Major winner, Matt Fitzpatrick, also five shots back of the lead. If Fitzpatrick were to win, he would become the first English winner of the tournament and, following a gutsy back nine, he will need to go low on Sunday to stand a chance.
