There is just one round remaining of the PGA Tour's flagship event, The Players Championship, at TPC Sawgrass.

Ludvig Aberg began the third round with a lead of two over Xander Schauffele, but the Swede's closest challenger wilted on Saturday, with Cameron Young instead the player in second place for much of the afternoon.

That was until the 18th, when Young found the water with his tee shot, ultimately finishing with a double bogey to drop back to third.

In the end, despite not being anywhere near as electrifying as his nine-under 63 of the second round, Aberg's 71 ensured he will take a three-shot lead into the final round on 13 under for the tournament.

Immediately beneath him on the leaderboard is Michael Thorbjornsen, and the two will be the last to tee it up on Sunday, with a start time of 1.40pm ET (5.40pm GMT).

The penultimate group will see Young and Matt Fitzpatrick attempt to close the gap. Young is on nine under with Fitzpatrick on eight under. They begin at 1.30pm ET (5.30pm GMT).

The defending champion is Rory McIlroy, but his challenge never really got going. As a result, he is 14 back of the lead on one over. He'll play alongside Nico Echavarria in the final round, with a tee time of 8.35am ET (12.35pm GMT).
