Rain pain as Els shot hits Janzen

ONLY 44 minutes’ play was possible on the second day of golf’s richest event, the £4.5 million Players Championship, at Sawgrass yesterday.

But that was long enough for world number three Ernie Els to hit playing partner Lee Janzen.

Els, one under par overnight and seven shots behind leader Steve Jones, had struck a wild drive off the opening tee 80 yards right of where he was aiming.
