Golf: Stenson, Coetzee lead in Munich

MUNICH: Former world number four Henrik Stenson and South African George Coetzee reached the halfway point of Munich’s BMW International Open with a share of the lead after the second round. The Swede was unable to match his thrilling opening round 64 and, having been three clear of the field after six, bogeyed his last two holes for a disappointing round of 70. “It’s never fun to finish with two bogeys, but you gain some, you lose some,” said Stenson, who is now lingering at 124 in the world. Coetzee, who carded his second round of 67 joined Stenson on 10-under.
