Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard Mar 19-22

Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Orlando, FL • Purse: $6,200,000

 

Henrik Stenson has shown a remarkable finishing kick at Bay Hill.

Seven shots out of the lead in the second round, Stenson closed with four straight birdies for a 66 to stay close. On Saturday, he was two shots behind when he again played the final four holes in 4-under par, including a 20-foot eagle putt.

That gave him another 66 and a two-shot lead going into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Brooks Koepka, who won his first PGA Tour event last month, withdrew on the 12th hole of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday due to a rib issue that he said first occurred Friday.

Matt Every had a tongue-in-cheek response when he heard Tiger Woods was not ready to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational this year. He said he told Woods, "Don't worry, man, I'll hold it down for you until you get back."

He did that and more.

Every was dressed in a blue shirt, not red, but the moment sure looked familiar on the 18th green Sunday at Bay Hill. He made an 18-foot birdie putt for a 6-under 66, gave an abbreviated fist pump and held onto the trophy for one more year with a one-shot victory over Henrik Stenson.
