Ponte Vedra Beach (United States) (AFP) - Chris Kirk finished strong to grab a one-shot lead after three rounds of the US PGA Tour's $10 million Players Championship.

The American fired a four-under par 68 for a 10-under total of 206 -- good enough for the solo lead after American Kevin Na three-putted for double bogey at the 18th to fall two shots adrift.
