Stenson takes 1-shot lead at Bay Hill; Woods 5 back

ORLANDO, FLA.» Henrik Stenson did enough right and was happy enough to take a one-shot lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, even if he wishes it could have been more.

Stenson missed a short birdie putt and a 12-foot eagle attempt on the back nine Saturday, had his tee shot knocked down by a gust of wind that led to bogey and closed out a 1-under-par 71 to go into the final round at 12-under 204 with another chance to win at Bay Hill.

“I was looking for a little better,” Stenson said. “But I’m still in the lead.”

Bryson Dechambeau also missed his share of chances in a round of 72 and was one shot behind.

Rory Mcilroy made an eagle on No. 12 and birdied two of his last three holes and was two shots behind.

Tiger Woods made another bold play on the par-5 16th, this time with his ball near the lip of a bunker. Instead of pitching out to the fairway, he hit a shot over the trees and the water that set up a two-putt birdie, and he hit a sand wedge into the 18th for a 12-foot birdie putt and a 3-under 69.

Woods was five shots behind.

“I’m within reach if I shoot a really, really low round tomorrow,” Woods said.
