With solid performances at The Players Championship, a few golfers are leaving Sawgrass with plenty of positive momentum.

While several players collapsed under the pressure at TPC (Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Kevin Na), some excelled under the bright spotlight.

The following golfers should feel the best going forward.

 

Rickie Fowler



The young gun continued his hot streak, finishing tied for second at 11 under. He strung together rounds of 72, 69, 66 and 70 at Sawgrass to continue his ascent up the golfing ladder.

At Sawgrass, Curtis finished tied with Fowler, Zach Johnson and Martin Laird for second. He was consistent throughout, posting scores of 68, 71, 70 and 68.

In the final round, he had a ridiculous eight birdies, but a double-bogey on the eighth hole ultimately ruined his chances at winning.

 

Matt Kuchar



Kuchar cooled down a bit after his third-place finish at the Masters, coming in 44th and 13th in his next two events.

However, he rebounded perfectly at TPC. Kuchar had rounds of 68, 68, 69 and 70 to win by two strokes. He putted well and hit 73.6 percent of his greens in regulation on his way to a final score of 13 under.
