Henrik Stenson shares lead at Bay Hill after a round of 69

Henrik Stenson ran off three consecutive birdies on his back nine and posted a 3-under 69 that gave him a share of the lead Friday with Bryson DeChambeau in the PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla.

Tiger Woods slipped Friday. He didn't make a birdie until the 12th hole and did well to scrap it around for a 72 to go into the weekend seven shots behind.

"I didn't hit the ball close, I didn't hit the ball well," Woods said. "But I was just hanging in there ... just try not to shoot myself out of the tournament."

DeChambeau finished strong with an 8-iron into 7 feet for eagle on the par-5 16th and an approach to 4 feet for birdie on the 18th, giving him a 66.

Stenson and DeChambeau were at 11-under 133, two shots clear of PGA Tour rookie Talor Gooch (70).

Ten players were separated by five shots going into the weekend, a group that includes Rickie Fowler (71) and Patrick Reed (70). Rory McIlroy was slowed again, this time with a pair of bogeys to start his back nine, though he could accept a 70. McIlroy was six shots back.

Cydney Clanton holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 13th and closed with a birdie for a 5-under 67 and the second-round lead in the LPGA Tour's Founders Cup in Phoenix. She's at 9-under 135, a stroke ahead of Ariya Jutanugarn, Marina Alex, Karine Icher and Mariajo Uribe.
