Golf fans will have to wait an extra day to see who will win The Players Championship after Rory McIlroy and JJ Spaun finished the final round tied atop the leaderboard at 12-under par. Weather was a big factor at the 51st edition of the famed tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. McIlroy started the final round four shots behind Spaun after a frustrating third round 73 slowed the momentum he built after an opening round 67 and Friday’s 68. Following a four-hour weather delay, it appeared to be the 35-year-old McIlroy in command as he quickly jumped out to a three-stroke lead over the American Spaun with six holes to play. However, the Northern Irishman’s blazing play would falter a bit, bogeying the 14th hole while Spaun birdied the 14th and 16th holes. With both entering the 18th and final hole tied at 12-under par and the Florida sun setting, it was do-or-die time for the two golfers.
