JJ Spaun opens up on his journey at the Players Championship

JJ Spaun is in serious contention for a victory at the Players Championship. Holding the lead after 54 holes at TPC Sawgrass, the American golfer last tasted victory at the 2022 Valero Texas Open. During a press conference on March 15, he reflected on his journey in professional golf, stating:
I wasn't raised or groomed to be a professional golfer. I walked on to a California state school. I didn't really -- I guess I kind of blossomed as I took on this journey, whether it was like junior golf, then high school golf, then college. I didn't know what my ceiling was, I guess you could say. I still guess I don't know what it is."
"But if you were to say before I turned pro, Hey, you're going to win a PGA TOUR event and you're going to play nine, ten years out there, you're going to make some good money and you're going to have fun doing it, that would be a great accomplishment in my terms," Spaun added.
Spaun started the first round with a 6-under 66 finish followed by a round 2 of 4-under 68. He finished his third round with a 2-under 70. With one round left to play, Spaun has a good chance to win the 2025 Players championship.
