Will Zalatoris was among the victims of the weather nightmare at the Players Championship 2025, Day 3. During the moving day, he went from a shared lead to T33 in just the last few holes of the round. This also included his first-ever quadruple bogey, where he couldn't believe what was happening.

On Saturday, March 15, Zalatoris started the third round of the Players Championship 2025 quite well and picked up three birdies on the front nine. He was three-under for the day until the 14th hole, where the nightmare began. He finished the round at 6-over 78 and his last five holes featured a bogey, two double bogeys, and a quadruple bogey.

On the par-5, 14th hole of 469 yards, Will Zalatoris found the fairway on his second approach shot. From there, he aimed for the green but his shot went a bit left, and the ball bounced off into the left bunker. Following this, the former World No. 7 couldn't believe what had happened.

Following the third round of the Players Championship, J.J. Spaun holds the 54-hole, one-shot lead over Bud Cauley. He carded a 2-under 70 to finish the day at 12-under, thanks to five birdies against three bogeys.

Cauley fired a 6-under 66 and was one of the lowest scorers on Saturday. He was one of just seven players to shoot in the 60s during the third round of the Players Championship.
