We saw some truly brilliant golf throughout this tournament, including shots that Byron Nelson himself would have been proud of. The best of these shots came from on and around the green, including masterclasses from Jason Day and Billy Horschel. After Jason Kokrak fluffed his lines to throw away a 5-shot lead at the top of the field, it became a threeway battle between James Hahn, Jason Day and Billy Horschel for top spot. Hahn's lead slipped when he hit three consecutive bogeys between the 12th and 14th. Whilst all three golfers hit bogeys on the tricky 12th hole, Horschel and Day sandwiched their bogeys between birdies to steal the upper hand (or upper Hahnd, if you will).

Pythagoras himself would've lost count of the amount of times we heard the commentator claim to have seen the 'shot of the day'. It will come as no great surprise that the majority of these shots came from the two leaders. Day recovered a miraculous birdie when he chipped in to finish a rollercoaster at the 15th and Horschel emulated his nearest rival's 60-foot putt on the Saturday; draining one himself at the 14th on Sunday.

This tooth-and-nail style produced a playoff between Horschel and Day. However, if you dared to go and make yourself a cup of tea following the 18th hole then you risked missing it all. It took just a single hole for American Billy Horschel to scalp a victory when his Australian competitor lost his cool in the most surprising fashion; missing a 4-foot putt.

Both golfers deserve great credit for their sportsmanlike behaviour. We have come to expect this from the ever-humble Jason Day, but Billy Horschel telling the Aussie 'That's not how I wanted to win it' will silence the critics of his club-throwing antics at The Players.

Surprisingly, James Hahn also uses PXG clubs; giving the brand that was formed as recently as 2014 something to shout about.

It's also worth mentioning the success that Jason Day had with his TaylorMade clubs at Four Seasons, including the TaylorMade Milled Grind Wedge, TaylorMade PSi Golf Irons and Taylormade Spider Tour Red Putter.

As the final day of golf at Irving approaches, let's take a look back at what's happened so far and what we can look forward to in the final round.

It may not be the most famous tournament on the PGA Tour, but with the list of past winner featuring the likes of Jason Day and Sergio Garcia, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to see some truly world class golf being played. James Hahn leads the field with a strong -12, although Billy Horschel's -11 score keeps Hahn's lead to a minimum. Meanwhile, 2010 champion Jason Day sits at T3 with Jason Kokrak at -10. Day will feel encouraged after a monstrous climb of the leader board; entering the weekend 10 strokes off the pace before storming his way into contention. If the Australian can play off the momentum in the final round then he has every chance of taking a long overdue victory.

It's been a different story, though, for the other T3. Jason Kokrak sat on a five stroke lead heading into the weekend, only to throw the tournament wide open with the ugliest of rounds, including a triple-bogey at the fifth. It now becomes as much about mental strength as golfing ability for Kokrak, who needs to regain the right mindset before he can even think about regaining the lead.

Day wasn't the only past champion to have a miraculous surge into contention on Saturday, with World No. 5 Sergio Garcia hitting a sizzling 29 on the back-nine to hurl himself into T6 at -8.

Brooks Koepka was the name on the lips of tipsters everywhere, having missed out to Sergio Garcia in a playoff in last year's tournament. However, a disappointing Even on Saturday saw Koepka slip to T24 and all but lose sight of the leaders. Matt Kuchar also looked a promising bet going into the tournament. Sitting at T14 and -6 he's certainly not out of contention, although it poses a serious uphill battle and one that I don't see him winning.

Now, it would be quite simply despicable to not give credit to Jason Day for his outrageous 60-foot putt at the 17th hole of the TPC Four Seasons course. The putting specialist put his TaylorMade Spider Tour Red putter to the ultimate test and it responded extraordinarily well. Perfectly measured, exquisitely weighted and beautifully executed. It's a good thing the golfers can't hear the commentators because Jason Day would no doubt have been lining up more conservatively had he heard the commentator say 'he'll be happy to two-putt this one' seconds before the stroke.

In a tournament jam-packed with world class golfers, anybody could be forgiven for failing to predict the winner of The Players Championship (or the top 10, for that matter). By anybody, I mean us! All eyes, including our own, were watching with unwavering attention as Rory McIlroy debuted his TaylorMade clubs, World No. 1 Dustin Johnson looked to return to winning ways and Sergio Garcia tried to follow up his maiden major with golf's unofficial major.

Remarkably, not a single one of the world's top 10 players could manage a top 10 finish on The Players leader board (although Adam Scott's T6 finish propelled him into the world's top 10 after the tournament). It was youth that prevailed on the merciless TPC Sawgrass course as we saw South Korean Si Woo Kim smash Adam Scott's record as the youngest-ever winner of golf's 'Fifth Major'. A flawless final round of 69 gave the 21-year-old a comfortable three-shot, -10 victory in Florida; writing his name in the history books in the process. Not only did Kim become the youngest Players Champion, he also put his name amongst the illustrious list of Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Sergio Garcia as he became only the fourth player to have two PGA Tour victories at the age of 21; the other coming in the 2016 Wyndham Championship.

Topping the field catapulted Si Woo Kim from 75th to 28th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Meanwhile, South African Louis Oosthuizen climbed from 33rd to 18th following his T2 result, which he shared with England's Ian Poulter. Poulter will rejoice in the knowledge that he is once again amongst the OWGR's top 100. Dustin Johnson's T12 result may look like a shocker on paper, but Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Jason Day finishing T35, T30 and T60 respectively made Dustin's score look semi-respectable for an OWGR top 5 golfer. The only comfort for McIlroy, Garcia and Day comes in the form of one Jordan Spieth, who failed to make the cut for the third year running.

Whilst McIlroy's disappointing finish wasn't the immediate return TaylorMade had hoped for from their £77 million investment, they teamed up with Titleist and Scotty Cameron in the surprise winner's bag.

So, what's in the champion's bag?

What's in the Bag?

48 of the world's top 50. The world's top 5 together for the first time this year. How could you not be excited for The Players Championship? As we all know, there are no guarantees in golf. However, I feel pretty confident in guaranteeing a firecracker of a golf tournament in Florida.

In case you hadn't quite grasped the magnitude of the competition this year, last year's runaway champion, Jason Day, misses out on the top 5 favourites list- priced at a whopping 22/1 with some bookmakers. Of course, topping the favourites chart is World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, closely followed by newlywed World No. 2 Rory McIlroy. Dustin's scintillating 2017 form means that only a fool would bet against the man who holds a comfortable lead at the top of the world rankings. However, Dustin's run of three consecutive tournament wins came to an end in the Wells Fargo Championship last week- his first competition since the infamous disaster at The Masters. Meanwhile, Mr. McIlroy has certainly covered the costs of the wedding with his new blockbuster TaylorMade deal worth an extraordinary £77 million. Now, it is worth noting that, regardless of how good TaylorMade's equipment is, McIlroy tends to take a while to adjust to new equipment. It would be a stretch to rule him out of contention for the so-called 'Fifth Major', but does this give some outsiders a greater chance?

One of those outsiders who may be licking their lips is 2007 champion Phil Mickelson. Whilst Mickelson may be without a win in 2017, the Callaway golfer will certainly feel that his experience of the unique tournament could play into his hands. Whilst topping the field in golf's unofficial major is a huge ask for the World No. 20, the fact that only one of the world's top 5 have won The Players before means he'll undoubtedly fancy his chances. Another past champion, Rickie Fowler, will put his Cobra golf clubs to the test at Sawgrass. Having won the Honda Classic after switching from the Cobra King Ltd Driver to the Cobra King F7+ Driver, Fowler's new clubs may have breathed new life into his game. Fowler will hope to replicate the clinical putting he displayed in the Honda Classic with the Scotty Cameron Newport 2.

Returning to the top 5, young Jordan Spieth will be eager to put past traumas behind him, having failed to make the cut in last year's Championship. The World No. 5 saw success at Pebble Beach with a Titleist-filled golf bag. Spieth stayed loyal to the Titleist 915 D2 Driver and Titleist 915F Fairway Wood to great success at Pebble Beach, with the Vokey SM6 wedges also providing highly impressive performance. Jordan Spieth is a name never far from the spotlight and is certainly one to be feared when he returns with a vengeance.

It would be absolutely criminal to finish without mentioning one Sergio Garcia. No longer the nearly-man, Garcia finally won that elusive major at The Masters in April. If that wasn't enough to put him firmly in contention for The Players, the Spaniard won the tournament back in 2008. Equipped with experience, momentum and an abundance of talent, Sergio Garcia will be looking to steal TayorMade headlines right back from Rory McIlroy by following up his first major with the 'Fifth Major'.

It's anyone's game in The Players Championship 2017. Can a vengeful Jordan Spieth end Rory McIlroy's honeymoon period? Will Dustin Johnson live to fight another Day? Who knows? All we do know is that we can't wait to find out.
