Jon Rahm came just one shot shy of a tournament record with an eight-under 64 to take the lead following Saturday's third round of the 2019 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Rahm entered the weekend tied for 10th place but posted an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey as part of his moving-day charge to reach 15 under. That gives him a one-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood as he attempts to secure his first victory of 2019.
Jason Day (12 under), Brandt Snedeker (10 under), Keegan Bradley (10 under), Dustin Johnson (10 under), Patrick Reed (nine under) and Adam Scott (nine under) are among the other notable players within striking distance with 18 holes to play.
