Being in the neighborhood I feel like it's an obligation of mine to write about The Players Championship. German Alex Cejka looks to hold a 5 shot lead heading into Sunday. The question is will he hold it being in the final pairing with Tiger Woods on Sunday? I'm not too sure he will. Yesterday, he was able to contain his lead and play solid golf with few watching him and most of the spectators were following Tiger. Today, with Tiger he will have most of the gallery on him. And with Tiger showing glimpses of being back to his old self it's going to be an extremely hot Sunday afternoon for him. With the 90 degree temperature and the dry course a round in the red is going to be hard to come by. With that said Cejka will need to keep his pace, keep chomping on his gum, and shoot an even par round today to win the championship. If he drops one look for a playoff round with Tiger. Which we all can figure out what will happen then. They only other player I see possibly being there at the end is Ian Poulter with his solid mid-range game that you need for this course. Poulter could stick around, but he is also one of those players that when things go bad they really go bad. So if he is not around the top of the leaderboard Sunday he'll probably shoot about a 79. Another player that could be there at the end if the leaderboard really struggles today is Kenny Perry at 4 under starting the day. So enjoy your Sunday watching the beautiful North Florida weather and the roars at 17. It should be an exciting finish Sunday.
