Ludvig Aberg grinded through a difficult day for a one-under-par 71 and stretched his lead to three strokes after Saturday's third round of the US PGA Players Championship.
The 26-year-old Swede, third last week at Bay Hill, made an eagle, birdie and two bogeys to stand on 13-under 203 after 54 holes at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
