PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. It seems that Si Woo Kim might not be ready to relinquish the trophy at The Players Championship.TPC Sawgrass has been notoriously difficult on defending champs, never yielding a back-to-back winner. Since the tournament moved to the Stadium Course in 1982, only one other PGA Tour event (Fort Worth Invitational) hasnt featured a back-to-back winner, and since this tournament moved to May in 2007 only once has the defending champ even cracked the top 25.But one year after cruising to a three-shot win over Ian Poulter, Kim started his bid to reverse those trends with a 5-under 67 that left him one shot off the early lead.

I played great, Kim said through a translator. The first three holes I played and my confidence was really up and everything was going good, I think. And then the last three holes I missed it a little. But I know that miss, and Im going to fix it better for tomorrow.Kim started with a 4-under 32 on the back nine, and after consecutive birdies on Nos. 4 and 5 he became the first player to reach 7 under. While bogeys on Nos. 7 and 8 dropped him from the top spot on the leaderboard, Kim had reason to smile after a ball-striking performance that featured 12 of 14 fairways hit and 14 of 18 greens in regulation.Kim has struggled with both injury and consistency since his breakthrough win a year ago, but he lost in a playoff last month at the RBC Heritage and has made each of his last four cuts. After another strong effort on a course he clearly enjoys, hes trying not to think about adding a new chapter to the tournament record books with a successful title defense.Thats really, I feel like that would be dreaming, but thats too hard, he said. This is just the first round. Im going to keep working hard.
During the third round of the BMW PGA Championship is when the madness ensued starting with a wild recovery shot that ended with a girl's hand being nearly broken. Then, on the 18th hole, McIlroy hit another spectator, this time, in the head. No doubt McIlroy didn't expect to be a wrecking ball out there, but unfortunately, that was the case.
