Kevin Na entered Sunday at The Players Championship at Sawgrass with a nice lead and extended it early, but he’s stumbled a bit close to the turn and now finds himself three strokes behind the leader, Matt Kuchar. Kuchar now sits at -12 through 10 holes.
The Players Championship 2012: Martin Laird, Matt Kuchar Blow By Kevin Na
The real story of the afternoon has been the charge of Scot Martin Laird, however. He made five birdies in six holes around the turn to briefly tie Kuchar for the lead before bogeying 14. Right with him is Zach Johnson at -10 through 13 holes, and Luke Donald, who tore up the course for a six-under round and is sitting in the clubhouse at -9. Na and Rickie Fowler, who birdied two of his first four holes before doubling on hole 5 (and hasn’t birdied since), join Donald and nine under.
