PONTE VEDRA BEACH – “Big game hunter” Wyndham Clark posted his second straight seven-under round of 65 on March 15 to set a four-shot lead through 36 holes of The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Clark, the reigning US Open champion, reached 14 under thanks to a run of birdies midway through his second round at TPC Sawgrass. He was one stroke shy of tying the lowest opening 36-hole score in the 50-year history of The Players.
