PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- He sounded beaten and broken, which says something about the difficulty of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, home to the Players Championship and a perplexing array of oddities associated with the tournament.
Pat Perez shot the best round of the day, a 6-under-par 66, during the third round. He made seven birdies and not a single bogey until the final hole. He moved into the fringe of contention, 5 strokes behind leaders J.B. Holmes and Kyle Stanley, despite being well back when Saturday's play began.
"There's not a shot out there that I'm comfortable hitting,'' Perez said.
