Rickie Fowler has exploded out of the gate at TPC Sawgrass on Saturday, shooting a minus-6 through his first 11 holes to take a share of first place at the 2012 Players Championship. Fowler began the day with birdies on three of the first five holes and has yet to record a bogey. He is tied with Matt Kuchar who is minus-1 through two holes.

Of local interest, Keegan Bradley has yet to make a move toward the top of the leaderboard, as he has been stuck at minus-1 through much of the day.

Right behind Fowler atop the leaderboard are Zach Johnson and Kevin Na who both just teed-off. They currently sit one shot back at minus-8.
