Australian and World number one Jason Day will take a four shot lead into the third round of the Players Championship after setting a new 36-hole scoring record at Sawgrass.
Play resumed this morning after weather forced a suspension on Friday but it didn't affect Day as he shot a third birdie in succession when he made his way back to the fairways.

Shane Lowry is Day's closest competitor, as he sits four shts behind on -11, with the Offaly man completing a round of 68 on Friday.
