Clarke makes a move at Sawgrass

Darren Clarke jumped 26 places in just two holes today with a flying start to his third round at the Players Championship in Florida.

After sinking an 11-foot birdie putt on the first the Ulsterman holed from similar range for eagle at the long second and so at four under par was up from 42nd to 16th, only four shots behind overnight leader Jim Furyk.
