    It is another breezy day but this time the wind is from the opposite direction to the rest of the week.  

    The south-westerly gusts have been replaced by winds from the north-east which are forecast to fluctuate to 22 mph by the time the leaders are on the course.  

    Judgement and club selection will again be at a premium in the final round.

    Here comes Ian Poulter to the tee, donning a light shade of pink for Mother's Day in America.

    A small crowd are at the first to see the Englishman drive to the middle fairway, it gets a resounding cheer - he'll be happy with his first shot of the day.

    We'll be keeping a keen eye on Ian Poulter, who is looking to capitalise at the Players Championship having retained his PGA Tour card after a discrepancy was spotted in the points structure used for players competing on medical extensions.

    The 41-year-old only played 13 tournaments last season because of a foot injury and slipped to 197th in the world.

    "It was a relief to get the call to say you're good, you did enough to secure your card," Poulter said before his final round.

    "Saturday was extremely difficult. It was very gusty. But I was patient and told myself not to go pin hunting because it was a day that would catch people out.

    "I said to myself before teeing off 'be smart and don't take on silly positions'. I had a lot of opportunities over the closing holes. I didn't take them but I am in a great position."

    Poulter is tied with Emiliano Grillo on six under par for the tournament, with the Argentine constructing a round of 67 on Saturday that was only bettered by Pat Perez.

    Sergio Garcia donned green on Saturday and seemed to summon the spirit of his Masters win when he also shot a five-under-par 67, but the Spaniard sits a stroke further back on five under after a costly 73 on the opening day.

    But there are plenty waiting in the wings should the co-leaders fall off the pace, with Louis Oosthuizen perhaps best placed of those to make a move.
