Shane Lowry made just the 10th hole in one in the history of the famous par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass during the third round of the 2022 Players ...

1 Lowry's 1 is just the fourth since 2002 on the 17th and the first since Ryan Moore did it to open play in 2019. The pin for Round 3 was at the front of the green where we've seen aces fall in past years, and it was playing a mere 123 yards.

Growing up in Ontario, Taylor Pendrith and Corey Conners played golf on a lot of frosty mornings which may explain why they fared so well on Sunday at the ...

Rather than pitch it back to safety, Conners decided to take a risky line, hitting his ball from pine straw, over some branches on one tree, under some on another and onto the green. He dropped just over 60 feet of putts including a 16-footer for birdie on the eighth hole. That wasn’t the case for Hadwin, who had to battle the rain and heavy winds over the first three days. “Missed a very short one, and just hit it to like 80 feet, I think, back-to-back holes and three-putted, which kind of stung a little bit. “Enjoyment, to me, is to be able to hit the shot as I'm visualizing it or as I'm feeling it or seeing it. Conners, Pendrith and Adam Hadwin, who finished his second round at even par, all survived the cut which came at two over. He seemed to find the right combination as he was five under through 11 holes of his third round. Growing up in Ontario, Taylor Pendrith and Corey Conners played golf on a lot of frosty mornings which may explain why they fared so well on Sunday at the Players Championship when temperatures were barely above freezing when play began. The 34-year-old has struggled with his game this year with his best finish a tie for 40th. “I'm not used to playing temperatures sub-40 (Fahrenheit), and I did struggle a little bit when I came out, but it was nice to just get back into a good process and a good rhythm.” He was a shot up on Tom Hoge and Harold Varner III when play was suspended due to darkness just before 7:30 p.m. The temperature was three degrees when play started, just the latest addition to a week of crazy weather that’s included driving rain, thunder and lightning, and high winds.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Caddies should've been compensated with hazard pay. They may need to re-sod the drop area before Sunday.

The difficulty was apparent right from the start, as the first three players to play the hole Saturday all hit it into the water. Many players took a detour to the drop area before arriving at the walkway. The wind was blowing so hard that there were ripples on the lake. Twenty-one players had to play the 17th hole Saturday afternoon as they completed the weather-delayed first round. But, after two days of heavy rains that soaked the Stadium Course, the show had to go on. One of Richard Branson’s private islands had a higher population density than the 17th hole on Saturday.

Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith will be within range when play resumes Monday with the PGA Tour's biggest purse up for grabs.

Conners was also 1 over for the third round and will start with a putt of just over five feet on No. 10. Sixty-two percent of the golfers who made the cut played in that wave, which played three strokes easier. Pendrith said the mid-tournament break was beneficial, after playing more than originally scheduled early in the season. The winner receives $3.6 million (U.S.) from a record purse of $20 million. PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. After Corey Conners called in two rules officials on the 15th hole at TPC Sawgrass he hit a low, hooking 5-iron out of the trees to within 30 feet from 189 yards. His near-ace came just two groups after Shane Lowry made an actual ace — the 10th overall at the iconic island-green hole.
