ROUND 4 NOTES
With a week-high nine balls in the water on Sunday, the 2010 PLAYERS Championship crept up to match the ShotLink-era (since 2003) record for fewest balls in the water at No. 17 in one week. The 2003 event also had 29 water balls.
Paul Goydos had quite a run going at the 17th until Sunday. He birdied the hole three straight days before splashing it in the final round and salvaging bogey.
Aaron Baddeley was the only player to find the water multiple days. He splashed once on Thursday and twice on Friday and missed the cut.
