Rebecca Breeds

Johnson seeks to tame TPC Sawgrass
in The Players Championship
It’s a course for which there are no easy answers.
Old players, young players, long hitters or
short, it doesn’t matter. The Stadium Course at
TPC Sawgrass and its two challenging finishing
holes have been known to eat them all for
breakfast in The Players Championship.
Dustin Johnson, at this writing the PGA’s top
money winner, has yet to break through with a
win on the lush Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., course
but he seems to be figuring it out. In the Tour’s
unofficial fifth major, his finishes have trended
generally upward since his tie for 69th in 2015,
with final standings of 28th, 12th, 17th and fifth,
which was the last time it was played in 2019.
In that tournament, he played well over 72
holes and even shot a 3-under 69 in the final
round, at one point coming within two shots of
the lead. But it was not enough as Rory McIlroy,
playing what he says was the best golf of his life,
managed to hold off Johnson and others with a

Q: Where have I seen
the actress who stars
in “Clarice” before?
– Pamela Adams, via

A: Rebecca Breeds did a
Rebecca Breeds
good amount of television
work in her native Australia –
including in one of the most popular serials there, “Home and Away”
(which also featured the actor who’s now her husband, “Blindspot”
alum Luke Mitchell) – before she began pursuing jobs in America.
She actually was a regular in a couple of CBS shows before
“Clarice,” the first being the short-lived comedy “We Are Men”
(which also featured Jerry O’Connell, Kal Penn and Tony Shalhoub).
Though 11 episodes were filmed, only three of them aired before
the series was pulled. Breeds had better luck with recurring roles
on dramas with devoted audiences, “Pretty Little Liars” and the
“Vampire Diaries” spinoff “The Originals,” and she later appeared
on the military dramas “The Brave” and (also for CBS) “The Code.”

2-under 70 to win by a stroke in a thrilling finish.
This year as in others, it’ll be the 17th and 18th holes that will be make-or-break for a lot of players. In
particular, the iconic “island hole” at No. 17 has laid waste to many a golfer’s game over the years, as the
wind and surrounding water mess with heads, thus resulting in balls in the drink.
Johnson will try not to be among them as he goes for his first win in the 2021 Players Championship,
which airs Thursday through Sunday, March 11-14, on Golf Channel and NBC.
