Stanley continues on upward trend at PLAYERS
May 11, 2013 - 2:10 PM ET
Kyle Stanley turned in a 4-under-par 33-35=68 in the third round of THE PLAYERS, improving to 5-under 211 for the tournament.
Two weeks ago, Stanley scored his first top 10 since his 2012 win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and followed it up with another at Quail Hollow last week. While he'll likely enter the final round several strokes outside the top 10 at TPC Sawgrass, it's clear that the form that had golf fans drooling in early 2012 is back. He circled five birdies to just one bogey during today's round. His highlight was a bounce-back birdie at the par-4 15th, when he stuck his approach to 1'10" and converted. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that he wasn't able to draw blood on any of the par 5s.
