Northern Irishman two off lead after improved drivingTommy Fleetwood in contention with second-round 66

If forecasted gusts of up to 30mph land at Sawgrass on Saturday, this Players Championship will descend into a war of attrition. Day four carries a 70% chance of storms. The PGA Tour’s marquee event could be about to get grisly.
