Playing four weeks in a row in a last-ditch effort to impress Padraig Harrington, veteran Henrik Stenson is giving the European Ryder Cup captain plenty to consider.
Stenson has endured a difficult last two years on the course but seems to have found his game just in time for a final Ryder Cup push. Following up back-to-back top-4 finishes on the European Tour, Stenson fired a bogey-free 64 Thursday to share the early lead at the Italian Open.
Prior to this run, Stenson had failed to finish inside the top 20 in a worldwide event since his victory at the Hero World Challenge exhibition in December 2019.
