MIAMI: American Scottie Scheffler birdied the final hole to complete a seven-under par 65 and take a two-shot lead into Sunday's (Monday in Manila) final round of the Players Championship.
With Spain's world number one Jon Rahm having withdrawn from the tournament with illness and number three Rory McIlroy missing the cut, Scheffler, who is 14-under, can regain the top spot in the world rankings with a top-five finish at TPC Sawgrass.He faces an international challenge, though, with Australian Min Woo Lee on 12-under after carding 66 and his compatriot Cam Davis a further two strokes back.
It was the lowest third-round field score to par since the Players moved to Sawgrass in 1982 with 15 players shooting 67 or better, but Scheffler expects a tougher test on Sunday.'I think the conditions are going to be pretty tough. From what I saw, there's going to be pretty gusty winds tomorrow in the afternoon, so it should be a good challenge,' he said.
