Players Championship 2019: Jon Rahm moves ahead of Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy as Europe dominate

Spaniard Jon Rahm produced a superb eight-under-par 64 to take a one-shot lead ahead of Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood into the final round of the Players Championship at Sawgrass. Rahm climbed up nine places to finish Saturday a stroke clear at the top of the leaderboard on 15 under, which included an eagle on the 11th – and could have been better but for an earlier bogey at the sixth. McIlroy, meanwhile, signed for a 70 after a slow start saw him drop shots on the opening two holes.
