The Players favors no one, which is why anyone can win this weekend

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The Players Championship almost never discriminates. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, hit it long or short, make everything on the greens or struggle with putting. Anybody can contend.

TPC Sawgrass has long had this reputation. It simply favors no one. And it is playing out that way again through two rounds.

That's how 47-year-old Lee Westwood and the kid who looks like he just graduated high school -- that would be Matthew Fitzpatrick -- can both be atop the leaderboard. It's why short-hitting Brian Harman and long-hitting Bryson DeChambeau can see their names next to one another in a tie for fifth.
