Scottie Scheffler continued his impressive streak of rounds under par at The Players Championship, marking his 25th consecutive round despite facing challenges on the course. Scheffler battled neck pain that required treatment during the round, affecting his swing and putting him behind Wyndham Clark.
Clark, unaware of Scheffler's struggles, put on a stellar performance with four consecutive birdies on the front nine, finishing with a 7-under 65. This strong showing gave him a four-shot lead over Xander Schauffele and Nick Taylor, who also navigated tough conditions on the course.
