PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Adam Svensson is the 36-hole leader of The Players Championship. Rory McIlroy is headed home after his first missed cut since August. The second round was completed Saturday morning because of a storm delay. Svensson hit onto a hospitality tent on his final hole at the par-5 ninth. He still made birdie for a 67. That gives him a two-shot lead over Masters champion Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy needed four birdies in eight holes to make the cut. He didn’t come particularly close, shot a 73 and missed by three shots. Collin Morikawa is three shots behind.
