ABU DHABI (Reuters) - World number two Henrik Stenson double-bogeyed his opening hole of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Thursday and the Swede never recovered as a four-over 76 left him in danger of missing the cut.

Stenson, 38, won his last tournament on the European Tour, retaining the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai in November, but his attempts to tweak his game at the National course proved disastrous.
