Co-leader Holmes takes scenic route around Sawgrass

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – There’s no easy way to tackle the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, especially when the winds are swirling as they were during the third round of The Players Championship. But the approach that J.B. Holmes took certainly qualifies as the scenic route.

Holmes started the day one shot off the lead, and he opened with a nondescript run of 10 straight pars. Things got interesting down the stretch, though, as Holmes’ final four tee shots weren’t just off the fairway – they were off the map. His drive on No. 14 sailed well right, the ones on Nos.
