Rory McIlroy continues to struggle at Players Championship

In-form American Pat Perez showed what was possible as Rory McIlroy remained stuck in first gear on day three of the Players Championship.

Perez made the halfway cut on the mark of two over par but fired a 66 on Saturday, his lowest score in 43 rounds at Sawgrass, to climb more than 50 places up the leaderboard.
