After finishing 57th last weekend in Orlando, professional golfer Sepp Straka got off to a good start with 13th place at the highly lucrative Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach on Thursday.

With a four-under-par round of 68, the Viennese is just one shot off sixth place and three shots behind the leading trio of Americans Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy.

In addition to two birdies, Straka also managed an eagle on hole eleven.
