ORLANDO, Fla. – If Bay Hill is the home of “The King,” Henrik Stenson might be ready to at least apply for a visa.
The Swede now lives in Orlando, a few miles from the site of this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, and he continues to thrive in his de facto hometown PGA Tour event. Stenson has finished T-8 or better each of the last three years here, highlighted by last year’s runner-up finish when he fell one shot short of Matt Every.
Stenson opened with a 67, but by the time he started his second round, he found himself eight shots behind tournament leader Jason Day.
