Stenson logra el puesto 26 en su debut en el Senior PGA Championship

En el primer artículo de esta serie, Henrik Stenson anunció sus planes para su regreso al golf senior tras su salida del LIV Golf, participando en el Senior PGA Championship. Ahora, compitiendo en The Concession Golf Club, el ganador del Open 2016 se sitúa empatado en el puesto 26 tras registrar tarjetas de 72 golpes (par) y 68 (-2) en las dos primeras rondas, en el que es su primer evento senior tras cumplir 50 años.

Stenson, tras un descanso de ocho meses desde su salida del LIV, se reencontró con los veteranos del circuito senior en el recinto de Florida. Superó el corte con comodidad y bromeó ante la prensa sobre su golpe de salida: “¿Mi promedio? Sí, lo he reducido a unas 360 yardas para no ser tan duro con los chicos”, añadió, con un vuelo de 290 yardas. El parón, el más largo desde 1989, le dejó “relajado y renovado”. Tras haber pagado las multas del DP World Tour y recuperado su elegibilidad, ya tiene la vista puesta en su debut la próxima semana en el Legends Tour en Barbados, el levantamiento de la suspensión del PGA Tour Champions después de agosto y los majors senior como el Senior Open. Reflexionando sobre los 50 años, Stenson comentó: “Nunca quieres cumplir 50. Es mejor que la alternativa, pero sí, el tiempo vuela”.
