PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The man with the striking ‘stache – think Wyatt Earp at the O.K. Corral – has game.
While the 32-year-old South African looks like he just stepped out of a black-and-white Western with a couple of six-shooters on his hips, he’s been a forceful presence with his clubs through the first four days of The Players Championship on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.
He holed out from 62 yards on the par-5 9th to end his round and holed a bunch of 20-footers for birdie on his outward nine to finish Sunday’s storm-delayed second round on the first page of the leaderboard.
