The Players: The Best Laid Plans
The TPC at Sawgrass didn't play any easier in the second round of The
Players Championship, but it could have been a lot worse. After the
field shot 73.716 in the first round, which included the afternoon wave
shooting 74.44, superintendent Fred Klauk needed to try and rein the
beast in, so he doubled the watering on each hole from four to eight
minutes.
In the end, all that did was temper a course that was not built for this type of set-up. The morning scoring average was 74.24 and the afternoon was 74.71 for a average of 74.748.
The enhanced watering pattern is interesting since Klauk in his press conference said he would water less and less during the week of the event.
