Players Final Round '17: A Few Sunday Reads & Preview

/

If you were to dream up a leaderboard...this isn't the one. Never helps when one of the leaders gets you so excited about how life changing a Players win could be, even though it would be a career defining win for J.B. Holmes.

Q. Could you just talk to what winning a tournament of this magnitude would mean to you?

JB HOLMES: It would be great. You know, it's a golf tournament. It's a huge event, don't get me wrong, but in the end, it's just golf, and hopefully I can go out there and play well and win tomorrow, and if I do, my life is not really going to change. I'm going to load the car up and go to next week and play next week, and we'll live in the same house and I'm going to drive the same car. Don't get me wrong, I would love to win, and it would be awesome. Such a cool tournament, and to be able to lift that trophy would be amazing, but I'm not going to dwell on everything.

Well on that note...

It was a brutal Saturday for the stars. At Golfweek.com, I highlight some of the big numbers on a windy, nasty day for scoring.

Trying to figure out a winner is a tough task, notes Bob Harig in sharing player comments.

Sergio is lurking after a tough start and as Kyle Porter writes, the dramatics if he comes to 17 with a shot should make for fun viewing.

Pat Perez was a quote machine as usual, and Jeff Babineau profiled someone who is five back.

This is the 35th anniversary of the first Players at TPC Sawgrass, and Sean Martin has some fantastic memories from those who were there, including, Dodger fans, Vin Scully.

Ian Poulter is in a far different position than he was a few weeks ago, and as I write at Golfweek.com, at three back he has a chance to reposition his career. And buy more gifts for Brian Gay.

The Spanish language broadcast of Sergio's hole in one was fun, notes Alex Myers at The Loop with video.
