Kyle Stanley became the second player in The Players Championship history to birdie the par-3 17th at TPC Sawgrass' Players Stadium Course in all four rounds of a single tournament.

Stanley completed the feat in 2017, making 2 in each of the four rounds of the PGA Tour's crown jewel.

The only other player to birdie the 17th in all four rounds is Paul Azinger, doing so in 1987. That week, Azinger finished sixth.

Stanley finished tied for fourth place.
