J.J. Spaun is on the verge of securing the biggest victory of his career as he heads into the final 18 holes of The Players Championship. After carding a 2-under 70 on Saturday, Spaun now holds the solo lead at 12-under for the tournament, thanks to some stumbles from other top contenders. His clutch par-saving putt on the 18th hole kept him in front, setting the stage for a potentially career-defining final round.
Despite his previous success at the 2022 Valero Texas Open, Spaun faces a tough field at TPC Sawgrass. With notable players like Bud Cauley close behind, Spaun will need to maintain his composure to secure the victory. Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are also within striking distance, adding to the competitive atmosphere of the tournament.
The final round tee times have been adjusted due to expected inclement weather, with a stacked field ready to battle it out for the prestigious title. Fans can catch all the action on ESPN+ and NBC, with live coverage continuing on Peacock.
