Aberg's Grip Tightens: 3-Shot Lead at Players

Ludvig Aberg extended his lead to three strokes after the third round of the US PGA Players Championship, finishing Saturday with a one-under-par 71. The 26-year-old Swede now stands at 13-under-par 203 through 54 holes at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Aberg, who had started the day with a two-shot lead, noted that he didn't play his best but managed to "hang in there." He is seeking his third PGA Tour title. American Michael Thorbjornsen shot a 67 to capture second place on 206, with compatriot Cameron Young in third on 207.

Despite some late-round missed putts, including on the 17th island hole and the 18th, Aberg holds the largest 54-hole lead at the Players Championship since 2018. He looks forward to the challenge of the final round, embracing the "big feel" of the tournament.

A group of players, including England's Matt Fitzpatrick and Norway's Viktor Hovland, are tied for fourth place on 208. Notable players like top-ranked Scottie Scheffler finished on 212, while defending champion Rory McIlroy was on 217.
