The Swede said he probably won’t try to drive the green at the 16th hole, laying up short of a pair of mounds in the fairway, unless officials use a back-left hole location.

“If you try to get up or if you try to drive the green, and you go left, you’re most likely going to end up in those bushes or high grass down there,” he said.

Stenson said he could imagine a two-stroke swing at the 17th hole, with the small green providing plenty of chances for both birdies and bogeys, and he will try to reach the 18th green in two shots.
