Henrik Stenson is hoping a well-managed schedule will help him end his winless run and claim a maiden win on home soil at the Nordea Masters. The world No 6 hasnt won in 13 visits to his home event, with his best performances being when he ended runner-up to Luke Donald in 2004 and lost out in a play-off to Mark Hensby a year later.Stenson is currently the only player in the worlds top seven yet to claim a worldwide victory in 2016, with top-six finishes in Abu Dhabi and Dubai his best showings so far, while he hasnt reached the winners circle since the 2014 DP World Tour Championship. The Swedes form has dipped since narrowly missing out on Houston Open victory in April, but returns from a three-week break keen to start a busy summer with a strong display in Stockholm. Stenson underwent a knee operation at the end of last season With the schedule the way it is, Ill only get to spend another three weeks in Sweden this year, so I want to make the most of it and enjoy myself. Stenson told a press conference on Tuesday. And the best way of enjoying it would be to win this week.Ive had a second, two thirds and a sixth place from the nine tournaments Ive played so far, so thats a pretty decent record but it could obviously be better. I havent played much since Augusta because Ive been trying to pace myself, so at least Im well rested heading into a busy period. I dont have much of a break before the Ryder Cup, so its a pretty packed schedule and hopefully I can play well on my weeks on, then rest well on my weeks off.Stenson tees off alongside BMW PGA Champion runner-up Rikard Karlberg and three-time Nordea Masters champion Lee Westwood - whose last European Tour victory came at this event in 2012 - for the opening two rounds. Westwood won the tournament in 1996, 2000 and 2012 Westwood is impressive form having followed a runner-up finish in the Masters by posting a top-10 in Ireland and a strong showing at Wentworth, with the 43-year-old keen to continue that run this week.Im looking forward to going back, Westwood told the EuropeanTour.com. Ive won it three times in three different decades, so its one of my most successful tournaments and itd be lovely to win it a fourth time. Its in a great spot on the side of the lake with some lovely scenery, so itll be nice to go back. They have a very good variation of holes, and its an exciting finish. The tournament has been very good to me and Ive got a great record, so hopefully I can keep the run going next week.

In fact, his mentors hiatus from the UFC makes McDonalds quest to reach the top of the welterweight division a little easier. "It opens things up for me to get to where I want to be," MacDonald said this week. "Ive learned a lot from Georges. No extra pressure, Ive just got to be myself." It remains to be seen if St-Pierre will return to the sport he dominated, but the 24-year-old MacDonald — who goes by the nickname "Ares" — is intent on continuing his climb this Saturday at UFC 174 when he takes on Tyron (The Chosen One) Woodley in the co-main event at Rogers Arena. Both men have their sights set on Johny Hendricks welterweight title, with MacDonald ranked as the No. 2 challenger and Woodley at No. 3. Shy in front of the media glare, MacDonald said he just has to continue working on what has brought him to this point. "I think people like me for who I am," said MacDonald, who was born in Quesnel, B.C., but now trains in Montreal. "Ive gotten to the position Im in because of being who I am — a couple stumbles along the way but I feel like Im hitting my stride right now." One of those stumbles actually came in Vancouver when MacDonald (16-2) lost at UFC 115 in June 2010 to Carlos Condit. His only other defeat came to Robbie Lawler in a split decision at UFC 167 in November, but MacDonald rebounded to beat Demian Maia in a spplit decision at UFC 170 in February.dddddddddddd "You pick and choose your spots. You play between defence and offence against other good fighters," said MacDonald. "I just had a great training camp. No injuries and things went great. I felt great in my sparrings and my techniques are sharp." Woodley (13-2), a two-time All-American wrestler at the University of Missouri, has just three UFC bouts under his belt, including a technical knockout victory over Condit at UFC 171 in March. MacDonald said if he fights to his strengths against Woodley, he should come out on top. "I know the techniques. They come out as instinct right now," said MacDonald. "Ive trained them so much. So Ive just got to go in there and do my thing. "Im ready for everything. Last time here was unbelievable, the response I got. If its the same, more, or less Ill be ready." In a era where athletes in all sports are constantly looking for an edge, MacDonald said he doesnt study video of his opponents before a fight, preferring to use his instincts. "Ive fought a lot of people in the past — never seen them, never heard of them and had to deal with their problems," he said. "I find it easier to do it like that, to react in the cage." MacDonald is hoping for the same against Woodley on Saturday night. "Hes a great fighter. To beat him you have to be tricky and use good techniques," he said. "I feel very confident in my abilities and the solutions I have." ' ' '
