Extra day needed at soggy Sawgrass

FOR the third time in six years golf’s richest event, the £4.5million Players Championship, needs an extra day to find a winner.

But the 2000 and 2001 delays had nothing on this.

When Sawgrass in Florida received yet another drenching yesterday, joint leaders Luke Donald and Joe Durant still had most of their third rounds as well as the fourth still to play. Lee Westwood is in the same boat almost literally.
