India’s Anirban Lahiri who is ranked 322 in the world is the surprise leader of The Players Championship at Sawgrass. Five birdies in his first nine of his curtailed third saw Lahiri top the leaderboard a shot clear of Americans Harold Varner III and Tom Hoge. Lahiri has won twice on the DP World Tour and has had multiple wins on the Asian Tour but a win at Sawgrass would be a different level.
The Players Championship is set to run into Monday for the first time since 2005 as storms continued to hit the TPC Sawgrass course in Florida. Tommy Fleetwood and American Tom Hoge lead the way on six-under after both managed to finish their rounds as scheduled on Thursday. The rain and storms on the opening resulted in the loss of five hours of play and an evacuation of all spectators.
Lee Westwood came up just short once again as Justin Thomas emerged on a busy final day to win the Players Championship by one shot. Last week the 47-year-old battled Bryson DeChambeau down the stretch and this week is was world number three Thomas.
England's Lee Westwood rolled back the years to take the halfway lead at TPC Sawgrass following a flawless six-under round of 66. It will be the third time Westwood has led the field going into the weekend at The Players Championship, the prior occasions being when he was a much younger man.
The Players' Championship in Florida is cancelled and no further tournaments will be played up until the Valero Texas Open. The announcement came from Tour saying it was " the right thing to do for our players and our fans is to pause."
The Players Championship will continue but spectators will not be allowed for the last three days. Poor old Russell Knox must wish that no one had been watching as he kicked off his tournament with a five putt at the first hole – ouch!
It's the biggest purse in world golf and after watching the players go through the grinder all weekend you can't help but think they earned every cent.

Barring a miracle or a total meltdown, it is pretty much safe to say that Webb Simpson has this one in the bag, as he shoots a four under 68 to extend his lead to seven shots.
Webb Simpson has surely got it wrapped up, right? But what if Tiger or Jordan take off like they did yesterday? It could be an amazing day. Tee times and R3 highlights right here...
