PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia shared the lead at the Players Championship going into a weekend with strong wind in the forecast and the potential for a wide-open chase.

Lee made a sloppy bogey on his final hole at the par-5 ninth. Bhatia got creative with a wedge to make birdie on the ninth. Both had a 66 and were tied for the lead at 11-under 133.

After a 78 on Thursday, Justin Thomas vaulted into contention with a record-tying 10-under 62.

Now comes the hard part.
