PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – We almost forgot this is the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course.
With Jason Day looking unbeatable, racing to a record 15 under par midway through The Players Championship, building a record four-shot lead through two rounds, we lost track of who’s really in control here.
The Stadium Course reminded us Saturday that it has more unpredictable mood swings than a dissociative personality.
This place played like some entity determined to have its reckoning after yielding to so much low scoring.
With the course turning from benevolent to malevolent in the third round, Day didn’t look nearly so invincible, and yet he impressively fought his way into the clubhouse with his lead intact.
