PONTE VEDRA, Fla. -- Joe Durant is clinging to a one-stroke lead over Fred Funkmidway through Monday afternoon's final round of The Players Championship.
Enduring brutal conditions at the TPC Sawgrass, Durant started the final round one shot behind Luke Donald and actually was 1 over at the turn. But his overall total of 10 under was good enough to give him the lead as Donald and the rest of the field struggled.
While Funk is one shot back, Donald and Scott Verplank are two strokes behind.
However, with the course averaging more than four shots over par, and most of the difficult holes near the end, the $1.44 million first prize is very much up for grabs.
The winds, gusting to more than 30 miles per hour, contributed to extremely slow play and getting all the holes in during daylight may prove tough.
