PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Jon Rahm felt like every shot would be good and most of them were Saturday as he posted an 8-under 64 and built a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood in The Players Championship.
McIlroy muffed a chip and had to scramble for bogey on the opening hole, hit a chip over the green on the par-5 second hole and turned potential birdie into bogey, and that was as bad as it got. He still was under par at the turn by running off three birdies, including a 4-iron to a foot on the hardest par 3 on the course at No. 8.
"I just need to hit fairways and greens. If I can do that, and take the opportunities I give myself, hopefully I can turn tomorrow into the best Sunday of the year so far," McIlroy said. Five players were within five shots of Rahm, the deficit the Spaniard made up on Saturday. That group included Brandt Snedeker and Keegan Bradley , and Dustin Johnson, the No. 1 player in the world who played the par 5s at even and still shot a 69.
