ORLANDO, Fla. — Henrik Stenson gave himself another chance to win at Bay Hill, and he made things a little bit tougher on Tiger Woods.
Stenson made three big par saves at the turn on Friday to keep his morning round from getting away from him, ran off three straight birdies on his back nine and posted a 3-under-par 69 that gave him a share of the 36-hole lead with Bryson DeChambeau in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The chilly weather warmed in the afternoon, just not enough for Woods to do the same. He didn’t make a birdie until the 12th hole, never had a birdie putt inside 12 feet except for on the par 5s on the back nine, and scrapped for a 72 to go into the weekend seven shots behind.
