With One Fewer Club, Stenson Takes 4-Shot Lead It's not unusual for Henrik Stenson to finish a round with fewer than 14 golf clubs in his bag. That happened a week ago when he slammed his driver into the ground with force and the head came off. There might have been other rounds when he had even fewer clubs when he was done. But starting a round with only 13 clubs? That was by accident, not by design. And it didn't even matter Friday in the Tour Championship. Even without his 4-wood that broke when Stenson was warming up on the practice range, the Swede still ran off three birdies in the opening four holes at East Lake and stretched his lead to four shots over Adam Scott with a tidy 4-under 66. He could have used the club once - for his second shot on the par-5 ninth - and he still got up-and-down for birdie. The only scare came after his round. A rules official met with Stenson to ask him about the 4-wood and whether he had it in the bag. In what might have been his best move of the day, Stenson had the broken club taken to his locker because the face had caved in and he couldn't use it, anyway. He didn't realize that if he had just left it in his bag and not used it, the penalty for carrying a non-conforming club would have been four shots - the margin of his lead. If he had used it, Stenson would have been disqualified. A television viewer saw the incident and called the PGA Tour. It quickly became a moot point with the club in the locker.
