Unlikely Goydos leads Players Championship

PONTE VEDRA, Florida: Paul Goydos, with only one top-25 finish since winning last January in Hawaii, fired a 2-under par 70 to seize a one-stroke lead entering the final round of the US PGA Players Championship.

Goydos, the only player with three sub-par rounds through 54 holes, stood on 7-under 209 entering the final round, leaving the 43-year-old US journeyman one stroke ahead of compatriot Kenny Perry and three in front of Sergio Garcia.

"We're still jockeying for position," Goydos said. "The golf course is, whew, it's hard."
