One of the biggest events of the year, The Players Championship, has reached the halfway stage at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

After 36 holes, Ludvig Aberg leads the way following a brilliant second round of 63 to leave him on 12 under.

Two back of the lead is Xander Schauffele, whose 65 on Friday reminded everyone of his considerable talent following a spell where we haven't always seen the best of the American.

The pair are the last to tee it up on Saturday, and they get underway at 2.35pm ET (6.45pm GMT).

The defending champion is Rory McIlroy, but he faced a wait to see if he would make the cut on Friday. In the end, his one over was enough to see him over the line, and he will begin the third round at 9.55am ET (1.55pm GMT) alongside Joe Highsmith.
