Henrik Stenson vowed to put in extra work on the practice range in Dubai as he reflected on a second-round 69 featuring two bizarre incidents at the DP World Tour Championship.
Stenson carded four birdies and just his second bogey of the tournament despite "not playing great", and he will go into the weekend on three under alongside Danny Willett, his closest rival for the Race to Dubai crown.
The Open champion looked perplexed when calling for a ruling on the second hole when somebody picked up his ball, and he was shaken on the 13th when a blocked his tee shot into the gallery, where a female spectator was struck on the head.

As the Swede offered his apologies before she headed off for treatment, the unfortunate spectator informed him that he was her favorite golfer, and Stenson said: "I didn't expect her to say that after being hit!
"It was a very unfortunate circumstance. I flared my five-iron right and I'm standing there thinking, is it going in the bunker or flying over the bunker, and next thing, I see it go into the crowd and hit someone. It was actually a miss-hit up into the wind into the right and it went further than the pin number, so something was quirky there.
