Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia struggle at The Players

Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia faced difficulties during the third round of The Players Championship, spending nearly 20 minutes on the fifth hole searching for their balls. Both players ended up taking an unplayable drop on the driving range. After hitting their drives into the trees, they moved nearly 70 yards back to hit their approach shots from the practice area. This unusual situation resulted in both players scoring double bogeys on the hole. Lee's performance dropped him from the top of the leaderboard, while Bhatia, who started strong, lost four shots over four holes. Both struggled with accuracy, hitting only one fairway out of eight in the early part of the round.
