Stenson på 26:e plats i seniordebuten i Senior PGA Championship

I den första artikeln i denna serie tillkännagav Henrik Stenson sina planer på en comeback som seniorgolfare efter degraderingen från LIV Golf, genom att ställa upp i Senior PGA Championship. Han tävlar nu på The Concession Golf Club, där 2016 års Open-vinnare ligger delad 26:a efter rundor på 72 slag (par) och 68 slag (2 under par) – hans första seniortävling sedan han fyllde 50.

Stenson, som nyligen avslutat ett åtta månader långt uppehåll sedan han lämnade LIV, återförenades med veteraner från seniortouren på anläggningen i Florida. Han klarade kvalgränsen utan problem och skämtade i pressen om sina utslag: ”Mitt snitt? Ja, jag har dragit ner det till ungefär 360 för att vara snäll mot de andra”, följt av en kommentar om en carry på 290 yards. Uppehållet, hans längsta sedan 1989, har gjort honom ”avslappnad och utvilad”. Efter att ha betalat sina böter till DP World Tour och återfått sin behörighet, blickar han nu framåt mot nästa veckas debut på Legends Tour på Barbados, PGA Tour Champions efter att avstängningen lyfts i augusti, samt seniormästerskap som Senior Open. Om att fylla 50 reflekterade Stenson: ”Man vill aldrig fylla 50. Det är bättre än alternativet, men ja, tiden går fort.” För tidigare rapportering om hans seniorplaner, se tidigare artiklar i denna serie.
