Stars not aligned for Players final round

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – If PGA Tour officials wanted to prove their marketing savvy, they’d tee the bottom half of the leaderboard off last on Sunday and let the leaders head out with the sunrise.

The bottom 10 players heading into the final round have a combined 25 major championship titles on the collective shelf, while the top 10 have a combined 22 Tour victories.

Instead of Rory, Jordan, TW or Phil, the "fifth major" has delivered Ryo, BillyHo and JT - that’s Thomas, not Timberlake. It will be a “who’s this?” finish at an event that prides itself on a “who’s who” field.
