PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- With apologies to a couple of pretty nice events in the United Arab Emirates, Lee Westwood is on the verge of the biggest victory of a long career that has seen him win all over the world.
There's still 18 holes to go. Plus, he's got to stare at Bryson DeChambeau's biceps for another four-plus hours on Sunday.
But Westwood has given himself a two-shot advantage heading into the final round of the Players Championship. A victory at golf's so-called "fifth major'' would be as popular around this sport as in the pubs of his native of Worksop, England.
