Stanley and Oosthuizen both shot 66 in the second round, and are tied atop the leaderboard at 9-under, two strokes clear of J.B. Holmes. That trio is the only group to shoot two sub-70 rounds in the first two rounds of the tournament.
Oosthuizen and Stanley will tee off at 2:50 p.m. ET in Saturday’s third round, but there are some interesting groupings ahead of them.
You have Phil Mickelson and William McGirt at 12:20 p.m., followed by Henrik Stenson and Jason Day at 12:30 p.m., then Adam Scott and Steve Stricker at 12:50 p.m., with that group among a whopping 11 golfers at 2-under.
Day won the 2016 Players Championship by four strokes.
Stenson might have teed off in a later group on Saturday, but a double bogey on 18 on Friday pushed him back about an hour.
NBC television coverage of the third round begins at 2 p.m. ET, 50 minutes before the leaders tee off. Online streaming of Saturday at the Players Championship is available through NBC Sports.
