PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Tiger Woods was surrounded by four rows of fans who stood shoulder-to-shoulder, curious to see how he was going to escape from the trees on the second hole at The Players Championship. Cheers erupted when he pulled out a 5-wood, a risky shot off the pine straw through a 15-foot gap of pines. Woods said he didnt hear Sergio Garcia hit his shot from the fairway. He didnt see Garcia stare in his direction. But he heard Garcia on television during a storm delay. The Spaniard said the burst of cheers disrupted his swing, and he suggested that Woods was the instigator by thinking only of himself. "Not real surprising that hes complaining about something," Woods said. "Thats fine," Garcia said when told of Woods comments. "At least Im true to myself. I know what Im doing, and he can do whatever he wants." A storm was brewing Saturday at Sawgrass even before the real storms rolled in and caused a two-hour delay, keeping eight players from finishing their round. And in the midst of the latest chapter in this Woods-Garcia rift, Swedish rookie David Lingmerth quietly went about his business and wound up atop the leaderboard. Lingmerth finished a wild day with an 8-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th and a 10-foot birdie on the island-green 17th to reach 12-under par when the third round was suspended because of darkness. He was two shots ahead of three players who have won The Players Championship -- Woods, Garcia and Henrik Stenson. "Im aware of where theyre at," Lingmerth said. "I try not to look at the leaderboard when Im out there. Im just trying to do my thing. But having those guys behind me, I know theyre going to try to hunt me down, of course. But Im just going to try to forget about all that and just try to do my thing." That starts just after sunrise. Eight players -- including the top four -- had to return Sunday morning to complete the third round. Woods and Garcia were on the 15th hole. The best action Saturday was during the rain delay when Garcia was asked about the par-5 second hole. "Well, obviously Tiger was on the left and it was my shot to hit," Garcia said. "He moved all of the crowd that he needed to move. I waited for that. I wouldnt say that he didnt see that I was ready, but you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit and right as I was in the top of the backswing, I think he must have pulled like a 5-wood or a 3-wood and obviously everybody started screaming. So that didnt help very much." Woods said Garcia didnt have his facts straight. "The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot," Woods said. Asked if they talked it over when play resumed, Woods replied, "We didnt do a lot of talking." Garcia wound up making a bogey on the second hole to lose the one-shot lead he had at the start of the round. Woods pulled off his shot, and then blasted out of the bunker to about 10 feet and made birdie to take the lead. When storm clouds moved in, Garcia already hit a tough shot onto the green at No. 7, and Woods had to mark his ball in the fairway when the siren sounded to stop play. When they resumed, Wood hit onto the seventh green, and Garcia putted before Woods got there. They were on the 15th hole when play was stopped because of darkness. Woods gave a brief TV interview, and Garcia came over to shake his hand. Garcia didnt back away from his TV interview. "It happens to me when Im in Spain," he said of the large crowds. "Obviously, it happens to him everywhere he goes. He gets a lot of people following, and I think you have to be very careful because theres another guy playing. Sometimes you have to pay attention to whats going on because if the other guys hitting and you do something when youre in the crowd, the crowd is going to respond and its going to affect the other player. "I think sometimes you have to be a bit more careful." Meanwhile, The Players Championship was shaping up to be quite a finish. Lingmerth, who began his rookie season by losing in a playoff at the Humana Challenge, poured in par putts along the back nine to stay around the leaders, and then he raced by them with his eagle-birdie finish. He returns Sunday to play the 18th hole. Stenson was the first to reach 12 under when he made a 20-foot birdie putt at the par-5 ninth, but what appeared to be a shoo-in birdie on the par-5 11th turned into a bogey when his second shot when just long and down a steep slope. It took him two chips to reach the green and he made bogey, and Stenson made another bogey on the 15th. Garcia made par from deep in the woods and bogey from the middle of the fairway. He came close to a hole-in-one on the 13th hole, and went bunker-to-bunker for bogey on the 14th hole. Woods was far steadier, though certainly not spectacular. That birdie he made on No. 2 was his only one of the day. Jeff Maggert, who also had a share of the lead at one point early in the day, bogeyed the last hole for a 66 and was the clubhouse leader at 9-under 207. Casey Wittenberg and Ryan Palmer also were at 9-under and still had to finish their rounds. Lee Westwood whiffed a shot on his opening hole then his club nicked a pine tree on his downswing and the club went nearly a foot past the ball, leading to double bogey. Westwood was 6-under with three holes to play. Hunter Mahans tee shot on the 15th hole got stuck high up in a tree, leading to double bogey, but then he rolled in an eagle putt from off the 16th green. He three-putted the 17th green for bogey and wound up with a 71, putting him at 8-under 208 with David Lynn of England, who had a 68. Lynn lost in a playoff last week at Quail Hollow. Through all that, Woods and Garcia generated the biggest buzz. The Woods-Garcia relationship already was frosty. In Tom Callahans book on Woods, "His Fathers Son," he writes about the time Woods saw Garcia in the clubhouse watching a TV monitor and trying to cheer a players putt out of the hole. Woods was said to be put off when Garcia celebrated wildly after winning a Monday night "Battle at Bighorn" exhibition in 2000. During the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black, which Woods won wire-to-wire, Garcia complained that play should have been stopped in the second round because of the rain. "If Tiger Woods would have been out there, it would have been called," Garcia said that day. Saturday was the sixth time Woods and Garcia have played together in the final group on the weekend. Woods went on to win the previous five tournaments. There is plenty of work left at Sawgrass. And if there is no change on the leaderboard Sunday morning, Woods and Garcia get to play together again.

MacKinnon capped off the tournament with a hat trick in the final, nailing down a 6-4 victory by flipping a loose puck into an empty net with 22 seconds left in the third period. It was his second three-goal game of the tournament, both against the demoralized Portland Winterhawks. "Its pretty cool," said MacKinnon. "The feeling would be the same whether I had one point, no points or five points tonight." MacKinnon hails from the town of Cole Harbour, N.S., which few Canadians had heard of before the meteoric rise of superstar Sidney Crosby. The two attended the same high school, Shattuck-St. Marys Academy and both are five-foot-11 centres. But MacKinnon says there really is no comparison. "Hes in a class of his own for sure," said MacKinnon. "Hes the best in the world." At 17-years-old, MacKinnon is already a veteran of the Canadian world junior team and a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion. After being selected first overall in the 2011 QMJHL draft, hes heading into the NHL draft on June 30 as the second-ranked North American skater by NHL Central Scouting. Graham MacKinnon, a Canadian National Railway worker with a thick red beard, said his son honed his skills the old fashioned way: playing shinny. "We live on a small lake, and in the wintertime I used to flood it every day," said the older MacKinnnon.dddddddddddd"He was always out shooting pucks down on the lake. "He was just always competing hard, and just loved the game." Starting when Nathan was seven, the MacKinnons billeted Mooseheads players Frederick Cabana, who went on to play professional hockey in Germany. "He was with us for two or three years and I got to know him pretty well," said Nathan MacKinnon. "Being a kid I idolized him, and always wanted to get to this moment." MacKinnons mother Kathy said he showed a precocious knack for sports, displaying remarkable hand-eye co-ordination and agility from an early age. "He walked early, and always had a stick or basketball bat or golf club or hockey stick the minute he could walk," said Kathy Mackinnon. While he had a clear love for hockey, Kathy said he also showed a talent for canoe racing, basketball, soccer and tennis. "I knew there was no question hed play sports," she said. "We just didnt know what sport it would be." Graham MacKinnon said the whole family is trying hard to stay grounded in the face of a deluge of wealth and fame with the NHL draft quickly approaching. "We live in the moment and take it day by day you know, honestly, and he does the same thing" he said. "You never want to get too far ahead of yourself, and thats what we try to preach to him too." As for the comparisons to Crosby, Graham MacKinnon said these are pretty superficial. "Theyre two different players from the same area, thats just about it," he said.
