I just flew in from Stockholm and boy are my arms tired.

PARAMUS, N.J. -- There are things you should know about Henrik Stenson, more than just the fact that he is the defending FedExCup Champion as the FedExCup Playoffs kick off this week at The Barclays.

He once stripped down to his underwear to hit a shot out of ahazard during the 2009 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

Another time, as a teenager growing up in Sweden, a neighbor had a television that used the same remote as the one the Stensons had, so Henrik and his pals would stand outside the window and change the channel on the neighbor.

Then there was the time Stenson was staying in a hotel room next to that of Carl Pettersson and Olle Karlsson. V-shaped balconies connected the rooms, so one night Stenson slipped on a ski mask and hoodie, crawled over to their balcony, ripped open the blinds and burst into the room, yelling “Give me the (expletive) money!”

Who says Swedes are stoic? Stenson certainly isn’t, even if he looks the part. He even has his own show on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, joking that he has a face for the medium.

    • I got scammed one time on FBM so I don’t trust it.
    • Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer??  
    • Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing. 
    • It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
