Justin Thomas shot a 1-over-par on Saturday, a day after shooting a tournament-tying -10 on Friday. He stands at 3-under heading into the final day.

After 36 holes at The Players Championship, Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia are tied for the lead, with four players – including Rory McIlroy – within two strokes. The story of the day, though, was Justin Thomas.

Justin Thomas, who charged on Friday in the Players Championship with a record-tying 62, spoke a lot after the second round about his attitude and focus. On Saturday, that will be heavily put to the test as the wind howls at TPC Sawgrass.

Rory McIlroy is near the top of the PLAYERS Championship, but he had to earn his 5-under 67 the hard way as his struggles off the tee continue.
