Saturday's Golf Capsules

Tournaments played on March 21, 2015

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Henrik Stenson of Sweden finished with another flourish at Bay Hill on Saturday and seized control of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

It was the second straight day that Stenson played the final four holes in 4-under par. Two shots behind, he made a 12-foot birdie on the 15th hole, a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th, and finished with a pitching wedge that plopped down 2 feet from the 18th hole for a 6-under 66.

That gave Stenson a two-shot lead over Morgan Hoffmann, who stumbled on the front nine, recovered with three birdies in four holes, and then stalled at the end for a 71.

Stenson, the No. 3 player in the world, was at 16-under 200.

Six players are separated by three shots going into Sunday's final round, a group that includes defending champion Matt Every.

JTBC FOUNDERS CUP

PHOENIX (AP) - Hyo Joo Kim took the third-round lead in the LPGA Tour's JTBC Founders Cup, finishing another long day at Desert Ridge in the dark on the 18th green.

The 19-year-old South Korean player shot a 6-under 66 to take a two-stroke lead over 2013 winner Stacy Lewis.

Kim made three straight birdies - the last with a 25-foot putt on the par-4 16th - and closed with two pars to finish at 16-under 200. Kim holed her 1 1/2-foot par putt at 6:51 p.m. - 11 minutes after sunset.

Lewis shot a 67.

Alison Lee and second-round leader Kim Kaufman were third at 13 under. The 20-year-old Lee matched the course record with a 63, and Kaufman had a 70.

Top-ranked Lydia Ko was 12 under after a 69.

TUCSON CONQUISTADORES CLASSIC

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Marco Dawson made a 15-foot par putt on the par-4 18th for a 5-under 67 and the second-round lead in the Champions Tour's Tucson Conquistadores Classic.

The 51-year-old Dawson, making his 21st start on the 50-and-over tour, opened with two birdies, made four in row on Nos. 7-10 and had his lone bogey on the par-3 17th.

Dawson had a 10-under 134 total in the first-year event on Tucson National's Catalina Course, the longtime home of the PGA Tour's defunct Tucson Open.

Wes Short Jr. and Bart Bryant were 9 under. Short eagled the par-5 second hole in a 66. Bryant, coming off a playoff loss to Lee Janzen last month in Naples, Florida, had an eagle on the par-5 10th in his 67.

MADEIRA ISLANDS OPEN

SANTO ANTONIO DA SERRA, Portugal (AP) - Bad weather has forced organizers to reduce the Madeira Islands Open to 36 holes for a second straight year.

Organizers said that continued heavy rain falling on the Portuguese archipelago maintained flooding on the Clube de Golf Santo da Serra course. Heavy winds prevented the first round from starting on Thursday, and rain interrupted play on Friday.

Denmark's Joachim B. Hansen holds a one-shot lead with several golfers yet to finish their opening round.

Last year, heavy fog during the first three days of the event forced organizers to reduce it to 36 holes.
