Ludvig Aberg did not provide the fireworks of Friday but will take a three-shot lead into Sunday’s final round of the Players Championship in Florida.
The Swede, who shot a 63 in round two to move two clear at halfway, backed that up with a one-under-par 71 to improve to 13 under overall as he chases the biggest win of his career at the PGA Tour’s $25m (£18.9m) flagship event.
But while the 26-year-old European Ryder Cup star serenely plotted his way around the famed TPC Sawgrass course, most of his closest challengers also failed to spark.
His playing partner, two-time major winner Xander Schauffele, drove the ball well but was wayward with his second shots into greens as he posted a two-over 74 to slip five off the pace.
