Stenson Hopes for Sunnier Sunday at East Lake

ATLANTA — Henrik Stenson was looking forward to cleaning up and preparing for a brand new, dry day on Sunday to make one last stab at claiming his first PGA Tour title of the season and an extra $10 million.

The 39-year-old Swede slid from three strokes up at the start to one shot behind Jordan Spieth after a second successive soggy day in the Tour Championship's third round at East Lake Golf Club.

"I think everyone's soaking wet and muddy and needs a good wash-up for tomorrow," said Stenson, who won the 2013 Tour Championship and FedExCup playoffs jackpot and can repeat the double with a victory on Sunday.
