The PGA TOUR heads to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida this week for the 50th anniversary of the THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returns to TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course looking to become the first golfer to go back-to-back at THE PLAYERS after his impressive win last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. This was his seventh victory on TOUR since the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. He has also claimed four top-10s across his five starts so far this season. Rory McIlroy will also be in the field this week. He is without a top-20 this season but will take confidence from his victory here in 2019. Viktor Hovland returns to TPC Sawgrass following two straight top-10 finishes at THE PLAYERS, including a solo third last season. Others to look out for are 2021 PLAYERS winner Justin Thomas, 2023 U.S Open champion Wyndham Clark, Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele.

A soft arm swing right there oh even though it was downwind that ball stopped very nicely for Xander second shot for Xander shafley it’s easy to get offline on this tricky driving hole well he must had a pretty decent line to take a wood out of this thick

Rough he couldn’t even see the ball um now he’s got more problems well kept the ball left of the green which is going to now be the better angle but actually a decent lie here for the shot he has he’s got to play all the way up that slope he

Can see a lot of ball off the down slope should help it run oh well played little left but see him L his balance after that shot his right foot went towards the hole well if shley can turn this into a four he would be very satisfied yeah two times in the

Heavy rough on the left side yeah confident stroke he was bogey free and a stellar seven under round yesterday a part of the three-way tie for the lead took relief from that drain there just got to clip this get it to check and release got the check maybe a little too much

Release ball just working hard to three Xander for his par bogey free yesterday oh still that was a nice roll there money save for shley got way up in the air what a shot spectacular beautifully done to be able to control the distance the is so she’s got plenty of

Game as well shley little tricky dog leg left less than driver he’s asking it to catch the bunker the Mitchell High from last year this is shley he’s in bit of a predicament here long bunker shot looks like he had didn’t have any tree problems W have any problems at all this

Bogey free round is going to stay intact you would [Applause] think a well done shley he’s contended in Majors he’s been chasing those 11 and Xander second of the par five o that’s right look out water wow that is a huge Miss can’t be overly aggressive and try and carry

Something all the way back there just a left to right wind pretty aggressive here he’s carrying it way back there that is a big mistake yeah that green slopes away from it’s downwind try to chip something let it kill it and run out from there and one of the easiest holes he is

Making a mess of it from the Fairway should be turning to his left a little bit on the slow side got to keep the speed up might just what Keith Mitchell was talking about stay away from the big numbers and obviously Windam Clark has done that

Tour decided to set it up the two shotter but nobody told Xander drove 340 to the front edge just this pitch for his second shot it’s 369 today and shley is looks like he’s going to bounce back two players by the way have driven the green impressive t- shot nice touch a long

Chip Shot with the lofted club across the green is not easy get that close and shof gets one back there you can hear he to oh that’s so good though you hear him say he toed that is that’s way down there big drive there by Xander just 172 left unreal

Good eagle look it’ll be for shley I expect this to go in and I’ll tell you what this has been a nice comeback since that double bogey at the previous par five the birdie at 12 18 Shy’s got a window well looks like he can hit the back of the

Ball still got to control what it does when it hits the ground this is going to feed to the left and be down where one of the whole locations is either tomorrow or Saturday but he’s happy to get it on oh ecstatic there you could be blocked out

Over there and a heartbeat right on the stairway yep tough to control this distance up that steep part right there and it slows down a ton like that little bouncing of the putter you know keeps you from getting too tense too tight pain Stuart used to do that really well thanks for watching
