It's almost on the day five years after he won the British Open at the Royal Troon in Scotland.

Then he became the first Swedish male major winner.

On July 17, Henrik Stenson is expected to step out again.

This time at the Royal St George's Club in England, on the third day of the competition.

- It will be a small anniversary.

It was a historic victory for me and my team, and for golf Sweden, says Stenson.

Want to find the shape again

The 45-year-old has in the last two years fallen on the world rankings and failed to qualify for the Olympics in Tokyo this summer after slipping behind both Alex Norén and Henrik Norlander.

- Now at the end I feel a few percent closer.

That's probably what I need, it feels like I've been walking around in circles for a long time.

And then you feel that you need receipts that it is going in the right direction.

I hope we get to feel this, he says.
