J.J. Spaun leads Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass

nbcsports.com — March 16, 2025 at 05:01 AM UTC

J.J. Spaun leads the Players Championship after three rounds, carding a 2-under 70 to reach 12 under par. This marks a significant achievement for Spaun, who is ranked 15th in the FedExCup standings. Spaun's journey includes overcoming a misdiagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, which hindered his early career. After discovering he was actually Type 1 diabetic, he adjusted his treatment and regained his PGA Tour card through the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. He secured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2022 Valero Texas Open and has had a strong start to the current season, with two top-3 finishes. Spaun aims to build confidence as he competes for the championship.
