MIAMI: American Scottie Scheffler birdied the final hole to complete a seven-under par 65 and take a two-shot lead into Sunday's (Monday in Manila) final round of the Players Championship.

With Spain's world number one Jon Rahm having withdrawn from the tournament with illness and number three Rory McIlroy missing the cut, Scheffler, who is 14-under, can regain the top spot in the world rankings with a top-five finish at TPC Sawgrass.
