SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Henrik Stenson joked that he had already researched and booked a flight from Chicago to Copenhagen on Friday night.
He can cancel the ticket and get the airline credit.
One of the pre-tournament favorites, Stenson stumbled to a 4-over 76 in the first round of the PGA, a frustrating score considering he didn’t think that he had played that poorly.
In a spot where he needed to make birdies – lots of them – to make the cut, Stenson was 8 under par with three holes to play Friday before dropping two shots coming home.
