Stenson leads in LIV Golf debut

NEW YORK: Henrik Stenson, stripped of Europe's Ryder Cup captaincy after jumping to the rebel LIV Golf circuit, was poised to make the move pay off after seizing a three shot lead at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Sweden's Stenson is leading the chase for the $4 million first prize in the third event of the breakaway series funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
