PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Already familiar with the top of the leaderboard at the Players Championship, Kevin Na earned another chance Friday at redemption on Pete Dye’s TPC Sawgrass with a second-round 69.
Na, 31, co-led through 36 holes in 2012 with Zach Johnson and Matt Kuchar, and was the solo leader by one-shot through 54 holes over Kuchar. He ballooned to 76 on Sunday, however, and finished T-7.
“I learned a lot,” Na said of leading in 2012. “I don’t think I’m in the same position. In the leader-wise, yes. But I was dealing with a lot of stuff a few years ago.
