Following a third-round 68, Webb Simpson will take a seven-shot lead into the final round of The Players Championship. Heres where things stand through 54 holes at TPC Sawgrass.Leaderboard: Simpson (-19), Danny Lee (-12), Dustin Johnson (-10), Jason Dufner (-9), Jimmy Walker (-9), Xander Schauffele (-9), Jason Day (-9), Charl Schwartzel (-9)What it means: Simpson is 18 holes from his fifth PGA Tour victory and his first in five years, since the 2013 Shriners. Up five to start the day, Simpson stretched his lead to eight when he eagled the par-5 11th. At 19 under par, Simpson ties Greg Norman for the tournament's 54-hole scoring record. His seven-shot lead is the largest 54-hole margin in the event's history. With a win tomorrow, the 2012 U.S. Open champion would join an impressive list of players who have won both the U.S. Open and The Players, one that currently consists of Tiger Woods, Martin Kaymer, Lee Janzen, Tom Kite, Ray Floyd, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Jerry Pate. Simpson would also lock up PGA Tour membership for the next five years and earn three-year exemptions into all four majors. And, of course, hed work his way into consideration for a third Ryder Cup appearance.
