BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) — Henrik Stenson turned his focus to golf and it was good. The Swede made his debut in the LIV Golf series with a 64 to share the lead with Patrick Reed. Stenson is among the latest additions to the Saudi-funded league and it cost him the Ryder Cup captaincy for Europe. He says he was happy to be able to focus after a busy week.
