India’s Anirban Lahiri who is ranked 322 in the world is the surprise leader of The Players Championship at Sawgrass.

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.

Scott Jamieson remained at the top of the leaderboard after playing just five holes of his third round at the weather-affected ISPS Handa Championship in Spain, where Canadian Aaron Cockerill holed an eagle putt to close out a stunning 62 and move within one shot of the summit just moments before the final klaxon sounded.
It all started so well for Bryson. A huge three wood down the 10th hole and a short iron set up a short birdie putt.
