PGA Tour paused play With TPC sawgrass by lightning bolts approaching the Jacksonville area.
Just before the corner sounds, Rory McIlroy ejected 13 footers He grabs the solo lead with a 12-under par, heading for a birdie on the par 5 11th hole. He then lived a long iron in the middle of the fairway on the par 4 12th, and his final swing before a stop.
Of course, McIlroy is looking at his second player championship title in six years. He last conquered TPC Sawgrass in 2019.
This year, McIroy began his final round, tracking JJ Spaun in four shots. However, McIlroy quickly erased that deficit with an opening birdie into the first hole, then attacked the par 5 second-most surprising Eagle 3. He knitted four irons from 231 yards 10 feet away and converted the Eagle Tri.
Meanwhile, Spaun began the day at 12 under, blinking for the first time in a challenging par 4 fifth place. He failed to reach up and down to save par, which brought him back to 11 under and back in the tie for a lead with McIlroy and Akshay Batia. Spaun dropped another shot on the Par-3 8th, but got that stroke on the 9th of Par-5 with a birdie. His birdie on the 9th came thanks to a stroke of good fortune. Spaun's third shot landed in Moguls next to the green, but he was standing on the head of a sprinkler, so he received relief. Spawn then dropped, but his ball rested on another sprinkler head. He eventually fell on the fairway, and from there he went up and down for the four of them.
Sitting once behind the 10-under Spann is Batya with Batya, who took a 36-hole lead, and Danny Walker, who began the day with five backs of 7-under par and Span. Tom Hoge is 10 under, just like the former. TCU The horned frog has a birdie putt at par 4 18th place and posts an 11 under when play resumes. Hoge was 6 under the day and is now tied to the best round of the day with TPC Sawgrass.
Jacksonville native Bad Cowley has been 9 under and 2 over pars in the past day.
