IRVINE, Scotland (AP) Henrik Stenson is back in the west of Scotland and preparing to hand over his baby.

The Swedish golfer is playing the Scottish Open this week at Dundonald Links, which is a 6-mile (10-kilometer) drive up the west coast from Royal Troon, where he won the British Open last year for his first major title.

He’ll be giving up the claret jug on Monday ahead of the start of his Open defense at Royal Birkdale three days later.

”When you have kids, your life changes and it’s like you can’t believe what you did with all the time you had before you had children,” Stenson said.
