Players Championship
Straka not far from the top
Golfer Sepp Straka has delivered a good second round at the Players Championship in Florida. The Austrian made five birdies on Friday (local time) in Ponte Vedra Beach, with only one bogey on the 18th hole.
Straka needed 68 strokes and is in eleventh place with a total of 138 (6 under par). The lead is shared by the American Akshay Bhatia and the Australian Min Woo Lee, who are on 133.
Record set
Meanwhile, American Justin Thomas equaled the course record set by Tom Hoge in 2023 with a round of 62 after a 78 at the start. Thomas set a new record with eleven birdies in one round, which was only marred by a bogey on the 18th hole, where his second shot landed in the water. "That was certainly one of the best rounds I've ever played," said the two-time winner of the PGA Championship afterwards.
