Biggest takeaways and results to ignore from a wild and longer-than-normal week at the Players

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Around 4 p.m. ET on Monday, after rain started falling again at the Players at TPC Sawgrass, Sepp Straka was the leader in the clubhouse with a 72-hole total of 7 under.

For a tournament that stopped and started more than the traffic on state highway A1A, and in which a player's position on the tee sheet had almost as much to do with his chances of winning as chipping and putting, the final round was pretty dramatic.

When Straka walked off the 18th hole at the Stadium Course, there was a three-way tie for the lead.
