Sawgrass is about to turn into a wind tunnel. Gusts of up to 35mph are forecasted to sweep over the Stadium Course on the weekend, as glorious Ponte Vedra is transformed into Pontypridd.

Rory McIlroy continues to sit on the front page of the leaderboard, but TPC Sawgrass still finds ways to put its claws into him at The PLAYERS Championship.

A 68, that included a bogey on his final hole of the day has Rory McIlroy squarely in the chase for his second Players Championship victory at 9-under.
