Latest news ahead of the 2019 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.

TPC Sawgrass has seen plenty of iconic shots through the years, including Love's brilliance at the 16th on his way to victory in 2003.

Love, who had also won the event 11 years earlier, started the final round two strokes back but fired a round-of-the-day 64 in blustery conditions on Sunday to take the title.

The American moved up the leaderboard with five straight birdies from the eighth but saved his standout moment for the par-five 16th, where his tee shot headed towards the trees and onto the pine straw.

Love managed to nail a six-iron to 10 feet and roll in the eagle putt on his way to a six-shot win, but could Radar achieve the same when we sent him to replicate the shot?
