Na leads at Sawgrass

American Kevin Na, best known for taking 16 on one hole just over a year ago, was doing rather better in the Players Championship at Sawgrass today.

The 28-year-old birdied six of his first eight holes, including the dangerous short 17th with its near island green, to lead golf’s richest event by a shot from little-known compatriot Blake Adams, who finished the front nine with five successive birdies.
