India's Anirban Lahiri grabs lead at Players Championship ahead of Monday finish
PONTE VEDRA BEACH (USA): Chasing a breakthrough win, India's Anirban Lahiri dished out a superb performance in brutal conditions to grab a slender one-shot lead at the weather-hit PLAYERS Championship, the PGA Tour's flagship USD 20 million tournament. Lahiri (67-73 and 5-under through 11) at 9-under took one-shot lead over American duo Harald Varner III (69-69 and 2-under through 9 in third) and Tom Hoge (66-71 and 1-under through 9 in third). The third round was suspended at 7.32pm on Sunday due to darkness following multiple weather disruptions since Thursday. Lahiri was 4-under and T-11 when the midway point of the Players was reached in a week that has seen over 4.5 inches of rain, forcing a Monday finish. It is still a long way with 25 holes to go, but Lahiri could not stop smiling.
