Saturday was moving day at the 2015 Players Championship, and it wasn’t the biggest names on the PGA Tour making the notable moves.

One notable name who took advantage of Saturday’s opportunity was Sergio Garcia.



Garcia shot a five-under par 67 to bring his tournament total to eight-under. He is only two shots off the lead and well within striking distance of the top of the leaderboard. Garcia was a monster on the back nine with five birdies and threw in an eagle on No. 2 as well.
