Stenson up 3 on Spieth at Tour Championship

Two years after Henrik Stenson sailed to victory at the Tour Championship, he has another lead after 36 holes at Atlanta’s East Lake and Jordan Spieth is chasing him.

Stenson overcame a few mistakes off the tee and was solid on the back nine for a 2-under-par 68, stretching his lead to three shots over Spieth and moving closer to his first win of the year — and a $10 million bonus for claiming the FedEx Cup.

Spieth has made only one bogey over two rounds, and par saves on consecutive holes on the front nine felt just as valuable as his four birdies in a round of 66.

Jesper Parnevik birdied three of his last four holes at Poppy Hills for a share of the lead with Tom Byrum in the First Tee Open in Pebble Beach.

Graeme Storm holed out for eagle on the back nine for a share of the lead halfway through the European Tour’s European Open in Bad Griesbach, Germany.

Martin Flores shot a 1-under 70 to take a one-stroke lead over four players after two rounds of the Web.com Tour Finals’ Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship in Columbus, Ohio.
