Winners at Players after leading on the final day?

Question

Is Lee Westwood unusual in losing the lead at the Players last week?

Answer 1

Not really; since the Players moved to Sawgrass in 1982, the third-round leader has gone on to take victory just 37.9 percent of the time (11-for-29). In the last 10 years, just three men won the tournament after leading in the final round: they are Stephen Ames, Adam Scott and Hal Sutton.
