Rory McIlroy took the lead at The Players Championship with an impressive 4-under performance through 11 holes, moving ahead of J.J. Spaun. Despite an early bogey, McIlroy's three birdies and an eagle put him at 12-under overall. The round was interrupted due to lightning and heavy rain forecasts in Ponte Vedra Beach, prompting concerns about the completion of the tournament. If play extends to Monday, clearer skies are expected, but strong winds may present challenges. McIlroy, a previous champion, showcases his potential again in this prestigious event.
After trailing third-round leader J.J. Spaun by two strokes, McIlroy moved into the lead by going 4-under par through his first 11 holes.
Play was suspended at 1:15 p.m. ET. Heavy rain then lightning arrived as forecast and is set to continue through 5 p.m. before tapering off slightly by 7 p.m.
