J.J. Spaun took a one-shot lead at the Players Championship with a 2-under 70, the best score amid strong winds. Bud Cauley follows closely after finishing with a 66, while many players struggled in the rough conditions, including Will Zalatoris, who fell from tied for the lead to ten shots behind after a disastrous finish. Despite the challenges, Rory McIlroy remains in contention, only four strokes behind after salvaging a 73. The windy conditions proved to be a significant factor in performance, affecting crucial shots around the greens.
"It's pretty razor thin around here anyway, and then you add in 25, 30 miles an hour with some gusts, it shrinks things even more."
"Most of the dropped shots were from around-the-green mistakes rather than tee-to-green."
