Garcia - dropped shots late on.

It's 3/1 the field heading into the final round of the Players Championship, with Paul Goydos, Kenny Perry and Sergio Garcia vying for favouritism.

Garcia headed the in-running market nefore bogeying the final two holes of his third round to fall three strokes behind surprise leader Goydos.

Garcia was tied for the lead after a birdie at the par-five 16th, and momentum seemed to be on his side when he hit a lovely shot to 10 feet at the par-three 17th at the Sawgrass TPC.

But his first putt trickled four feet beyond the hole and he missed the comeback attempt.

The Spaniard compounded his problems by dropping another shot at the par-four 18th after pushing his drive into the rough and having to lay up with his second shot.

And that's seen him drift to as big as 4/1 with bet365 and Sportingbet, the latter firm having Goydos and Kenny Perry - just a shot off the lead - as their 3/1 market leaders.

"I'm a little bit disappointed because I feel the last two days I shot pretty much the highest I could," said Garcia, whose long game has been clearly the best of the field.

"I feel like I'm putting well. It's not easy to make a lot of putts, (although) I went a little brain dead with my first putt on 17 and just jammed it by. With everything that happened I'm still there with a good chance."

Pre-tournament favourite Phil Mickelson is still in with a chance five shots back and he's no bigger than 13/2 with Sky Bet and it's then 33/1 bar.
