Players Championship sees Rory McIlroy, JJ Spaun set for 3-hole playoff to determine winner on Monday

J.J. Spaun was searching for his second career win on the PGA Tour when he stepped up for his putt on Hole 18 during a wild final round in The Players Championship on a rain-filled Sunday. 

A couple more rotations on his putt, and he would've won it all. 

Instead, he's pitted against Rory McIlroy for a Monday morning, three-hole playoff to determine the winner of this signature tournament.

McIlroy and Spaun are both at 12-under following their final rounds on Sunday – a long day that saw a four-hour rain delay. 

The round was forced to be delayed due to the weather and lightning in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, which was expected considering the tournament moved up tee times to avoid a potential extension into Monday. 

However, it was unavoidable with the extent of the delay – 1:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. – and how the golfers ended up finishing their final rounds. 

RORY MCILROY TOOK COLLEGE GOLFER'S PHONE AFTER HECKLING MOMENT AT THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP

For McIlroy, he was first to finish his 18 holes, and he was hoping a miracle 74-foot putt would result in a birdie on his final hole. He had the right speed, but he missed it well left and eventually cleaned up for par to finish with a 4-under 68 to get him in position to win the tournament. 

McIlroy went to sign his scorecard while watching closely what Spaun was doing in the group behind him.

Spaun came into this final round on Sunday hoping to post another under-par round, but he struggled to get going despite seeing 12-under by his name at his tee time. 

He began the day 2-over before birdying Hole 9 to post a 37 on the front nine holes. But he would bogey on 12, forcing that 2-over back on the scorecard before finally seeing some golf shots go his way. 

Spaun would birdie Holes 14 and 16 to ultimately get back to 12-under for the tournament, heading to the iconic TPC Sawgrass island green on 17. His tee shot, though, was conservatively hit to the middle of the green instead of seeking the signature far right pin placement on Sunday. 

Spaun would two-putt and get his par, understanding his fate could be sealed one way or another on Hole 18. 

As McIlroy watched from the clubhouse, Spaun's final tee shot of the day made it's way into the straw on the right side of the fairway, just trickling there after trying to hold on into the rough. 

However, despite slipping on the grass, Spaun was able to hit a nice approach shot to give himself a good look at a birdie from 20-plus feet out. 

As fans swarmed around the 18th green, Spaun stepped into his putt and put a good stroke on it, as the ball rolled true toward the hole. But it didn't have enough juice, falling just a couple rotations short and Spaun couldn't believe it. 

With a tap-in par, the playoff was set for Monday, and it will be Holes 16, 17 and 18 to determine the winner of this year's Players Championship.

It's a David vs. Goliath in terms of PGA Tour careers, as McIlroy owns 27 Tour victories to Spaun's one.

    BOURNEMOUTH are confident of beating Big Six clubs to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer.

    The Republic of Ireland international wants to leave Anfield to get first-team football, and may have played his last game for the club in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.

    Chelsea, Tottenham and Carabao winners Newcastle are also interested.

    Bournemouth are ready to move first however, putting them in pole position, as manager Andoni Iraola has made signing a goalkeeper a priority with Kelleher his top target.

    Iraola has used on-loan goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for most of the season, but there is no obligation to buy in the loan contract with Chelsea and his performances have been mixed.

    The Spaniard was dropped by Iraola earlier in the season for another young Irish goalkeeper, Mark Travers, who is now on loan at Middlesbrough.

    Iraola regards Kelleher as a big improvement on both his current goalkeepers and has asked Bournemouth to move quickly when the transfer window opens in June.

    Chelsea have also expressed interest, but will not commit to making a bid at this stage.

    Boss Enzo Maresca wants to back his current goalkeepers, Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, despite the doubts of others at Stamford Bridge.

    Tottenham’s goalkeeping position is also unclear, with Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster and Antonin Kinsky all being used by Ange Postecoglou this season.

    And while Newcastle want an extra goalkeeper and like Kelleher, the club’s PSR problems mean they may not be able to meet Liverpool’s £30million asking price.

    Bournemouth may also be able to offer European football as Iraola’s side are currently ninth in the Premier League, but Kelleher does not regard that as essential.

      Kelleher’s priority is securing a move to a Premier League club that can provide regular first-team appearances after his career has stalled at Anfield through no fault of his own.

      The 26-year-old has played 17 matches so far this season, but has been restricted to appearances in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since Alisson Becker returned from a hamstring injury in December.

      Liverpool are aware of Kelleher’s frustrations and will not stand in his way.

      Arne Slot has already signed Kelleher’s replacement, with Georgian international Georgi Mamardashvili due to arrive from Valencia at the end of the season.
