A predictably unpredictable PLAYERS March 12, 2021
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Order has been restored to THE PLAYERS Championship. By which of course we mean absolute and utter disorder. Just as there’s nothing but a hot week that connects the winners here – short-knockers like Fred Funk (2005), long-ballers like Davis Love III (1992, 2003) – only a hot first two days connects those on the first page of the leaderboard this year. RELATED: Wait. Check that. Not all the leaders have even been so hot. Bryson DeChambeau (69, 6 under, three back), who is coming off a win last week, has found just 12 of 28 fairways, near last (T136) in driving accuracy. “I've been pretty lucky, for the most part,” he said.
