TROON (UNITED KINGDOM) - Henrik Stenson put himself into a good position to finally win a major after a superb second round at the British Open on Friday. "It was blowing a bit more and starting to rain quite heavily, and I birdied 10 in those conditions. He hasn't contended at a major since coming third at the PGA Championship in 2014 and he withdrew from the US Open last month before the end of his second round. Stenson is confident, then, but he is also aware that he may not get too many more opportunities to become the first Swedish major winner. The Swede has had seven top-four finishes at majors, including in the 2013 Open when he was the runner-up to Mickelson at Muirfield.
