Stenson hoping for summer of love

Henrik Stenson was today hoping to end his usual summer slump as he bids to reclaim top spot in the Order of Merit from new Open champion Padraig Harrington.

Stenson had topped the money list since winning the Accenture Match Play title in February until Harrington claimed the £750,000 (€1m) winner’s cheque for his dramatic triumph in a play-off with Sergio Garcia.
