Lingmerth leads at Sawgrass

Sweden’s David Lingmerth was the surprise leader of the Players Championship when play was suspended due to darkness during the third round at Sawgrass last night.

A delay of almost two hours due to the threat of lightning meant play could not be completed on schedule, with Lingmerth left to sleep on a two-shot lead over Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods and Henrik Stenson, with a daunting tee shot on the 18th to come today.
