J.J. Spaun got off to a rocky start in the final round of the 2025 Players Championship, making two bogeys and no birdies through his opening eight holes.
But his fortunes changed on the par-5 ninth, and it helped the third-rounder leader move back into a tie atop the leaderboard moving to the back nine.
His second shot came up well short of the green and in the rough. But he took his third shot from the fairway and spun it to 6 feet, 8 inches. As NBC Sports' Jim "Bones" Mackay explained on the broadcast, it was the result of a fortunate drop.
