Henrik Stenson Battles, May Not Continue If He Gets A Fever
/First round leader Jordan Spieth noted how playing partner Henrik Stenson battled to an impressive 73 during round one of the Masters. It sounded like he recognized a peer not in the best physical condition.
A pre-tournament favorite with some handicappers before he came down with the flu last week, Stenson tells Svensk Golf that he’s iffy for Friday’s round two if his condition worsens overnight.
Oskar Asgard reports Stenson was consulting a physician after the round.
**Asgard follows up with this Tweet Friday morning...
