Matt Fitzpatrick has experienced a remarkable turnaround in form at The Players Championship currently sitting in fourth place after two rounds. His resurgence follows the discovery of a year long equipment error where he accidentally left a weight in his driver. This oversight went unnoticed until recently when his grips were changed.

Since rectifying the mistake, Fitzpatrick driving has significantly improved, leading to his impressive performance. He humorously acknowledges his own fault in the situation. While Fitzpatrick excels, Rory McIlroy struggles following a strong start with a chaotic round marked by inconsistency.

Jordan Spieth addresses a rules controversy involving McIlro  stating there was likely no wrongdoing. Additionally, there are updates on peace negotiations within the PGA Tour. Scottie Scheffler remains a contender despite concerns over his fitness due to a neck issue.
