Tiger Woods saw his hopes of winning a third Players Championship title suffer a major blow on the 17th hole at Sawgrass on day two. Woods began the second round five shots off the lead but had moved ominously up the leaderboard with birdies on the 12th, 13th and 16th, having started from the 10th tee. However, the former world number one then dumped two balls into the water on the par-three 17th on his way to a quadruple-bogey seven. Tiger Woods puts two in the water on No. At one under par Woods trailed leader Kevin Kisner by seven shots, Kisner having picked up four shots in his first 10 holes to lead by one from compatriots Luke List and Keegan Bradley, Scotland’s Russell Knox and England’s Tommy Fleetwood.
