Cool Henrik Stenson on the match at Baltusrol

Henrik Stenson registered a sixth successive round in the 60s at a major to move him in sight of back-to-back major victories at Baltusrol last night.

If the Open champion from Sweden was successful and became PGA Championship winner tomorrow, he would emulate Rory McIlroy, who completed the feat in 2014 and was last night edging himself closer to making the halfway cut as the rain-delayed second round continued in New Jersey.

Stenson’s work was done early, however, the 40-year-old carding a second consecutive 67 to move to six under par and claim the clubhouse lead over his fellow morning-wave starters.
