Stenson takes outright lead at Nedbank Golf Challenge
Henrik Stenson, shown at the 2015 BMW Masters ( Associated Press )Henrik Stenson had been quite ill for most of the week at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, but the early setback hasn't made a dent in his play.
The Swede birdied five of his final eight holes Friday at Gary Player Country Club and surged into a one-shot lead through 36 holes. Stenson hasn't won a tournament since the 2014 DP World Tour Championship, and aside from that, for a man who once deemed his chances of playing at all this week at 5 percent, it's been a pretty remarkable two days.
