CHASKA, Minn. -- Henrik Stenson says that he is fit enough to play five sessions in the Ryder Cup -- at this stage.Doubts have persisted about his fitness since he withdrew from The Barclays FedEx Cup series event last month with a right knee problem.Stenson then revealed that he tore cartilage at the U.S. Open last June and that, while he had surgery for a similar issue last year, the problem was in a slightly different place.Potentially it could have been a question of how much golf we can play, the Olympics silver medalist said on Wednesday, having dismissed the idea that he may have doubted his ability to face Team USA at Hazeltine National this week.Nothing is for certain, but as of now, I feel like Im up for a lot of golf and unless the knee tells me otherwise, thats the way I approach it.It doesnt hurt when Im playing golf. Its been more walking thats been a bit more of an issue, but that feels good at the moment.Its not something that I really think about. If it shows up, then I just have to deal with it as it comes and try and make the best choices.Asked if he thought his knee would stand up to five sessions, Stenson, who has not ruled out further surgery, said: Id say yes at this stage.The world No. 5 hasnt played competitive golf since finishing tied 41st at The Deutsche Bank Championship at the beginning of September, but he claimed that was a plus.I definitely needed it [the rest], said Stenson, who skipped the BMW Championship. Thats why I set my playing schedule the way I did. I knew by playing limited in the beginning of the FedEx, it was always going to be a chance [I would] miss out on the Tour Championship.That was just something I needed to do. I was pretty drained after the summer, with The Open, and the PGA was a draining week also, and the Olympics. I played a lot of golf, and being up in contention, that takes a lot out of you.Its been a fantastic summer, so I needed a bit of a breather. I hope to be ready on Friday when we kick off again.

CLEVELAND -- Brandon Weedens goals were to manage the game, not make any mistakes and keep Clevelands offence going forward. He did much more than that. Weeden made coach Rob Chudzinskis debut a success, and the second-year quarterback may have stopped any controversy before it started. Weeden threw a touchdown pass and led Cleveland on two scoring drives, and Travis Benjamin returned a punt 91 yards for a TD as the Browns won Chudzinskis first exhibition game, 27-19 over the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night. By going 10 of 13 for 112 yards, Weeden provided a performance that should help end any talk of a quarterback competition in Cleveland and silence some of his critics. Chudzinski has not yet chosen his starter, but Weeden did everything he needed to secure the job. "I thought he did a good job." Chudzinski said. "He looked calm. We had good drives and he was a good part of it." Weeden hooked up with running back Dion Lewis, starting for Trent Richardson, for a 2-yard TD on the first play of the second quarter. St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford threw a 3-yard TD pass to Chris Givens as Rams coach Jeff Fisher left his starting offence in after Benjamins runback made it 17-0. Bradford went 5 of 8 for 102 yards, including 59 on a deep ball over the middle to Givens. Greg Zuerlein kicked field goals of 54 and 55 yards for the Rams, one of the NFLs youngest teams still going through growing pains. "The first game is never an indication of where youre at, because theres so many different things going on," Fisher said. "We had one period to prepare for them, and thats certainly not enough considering what they were doing defensively." The Browns are counting on Weeden to take a major step following an up-and-down rookie year. Chudzinski and new co-ordinator Norv Turner have tailored Clevelands offence to better suit Weeden, who has won over his teammates with his work ethic during the off-season. Now, all the soon-to-be 30-year-old has to do is convince skeptical Cleveland fans that he can be the man. This was an ideal start. "I thought for the most I made good decisions tonight," Weeden said. "But Ive still got a long ways to go." Weeden was composed as he led the Browns to 10 points on their first two possessions. He went 5 of 8 on Clevelands first drive, which included wide receiver Greg Little -- a former basketball player -- making a leaping catch of a pass that deflected off tight end Jordan Camerons facemask. Brian Bogotays 25-yard field goal gave Cleveland a 3-0 lead. "I dont know if I scared Jordan or what, but I hit him right between the eyes," Weeden said. Weeden was even better the seccond time the Browns got the ball.dddddddddddd He completed all five passes, connecting on a 30-yard crossing route to Cameron before capping the drive with his TD strike to Lewis, who juked Rams rookie linebacker Alec Ogletree before hauling in Weedens throw. Clevelands revamped offence clicked even without Richardson, kept out as a precaution as he recovers from a shin injury. Weeden saw plenty of progress. "We manoeuvred well," he said. "We didnt have any penalties. We didnt do anything to move backwards. We were moving forward. For the first game out, I think we did some good things." Benjamin gave the Browns reason to believe they wont miss spectacular return specialist Josh Cribbs, who signed with Oakland. With Cleveland leading 10-0, Benjamin backpedaled and caught a punt at his 9. He broke toward the left sideline, picked up a couple blocks, one by rookie Barkevious Mingo, and went untouched to the end zone. "Freaky fast," Weeden said, describing Benjamin. "Hes got stupid speed." Fisher wasnt happy to see Benjamin streak by. "Its that classic out-kick-your-coverage type thing," Fisher said. "Im glad it happened in the preseason rather than the regular season." There were other moments Fisher doesnt hope to see repeated. Running back Isaiah Pead fumbled away St. Louis first possession at Clevelands 26, and the Rams defence did little to slow Weeden. St. Louis, though, did bounce back nicely after Benjamins return. Givens got behind reserve cornerback Trevin Wade to haul in Bradfords beautifully lofted throw. Two plays later, the pair connected again for a score that pleased Fisher -- even if it came against Browns backups. "A little frustrating on the first drive," Bradford said. "We put something together, had a nice third-down conversion and we were moving the ball, and to turn it over in scoring position is always a little bit frustrating. But, its nice to finish the night with a touchdown." NOTES: Mingo had a sack nullified by a tripping penalty, and the first-round pick showed his exceptional speed off the edge on several rushes. ... Rams RT Rodger Saffold injured his shoulder on St. Louis second play and did not return. X-rays were negative. ... Givens finished with three catches for 82 yards. ... Browns CB Chris Owens, competing with Buster Skrine for a starting job, was a late scratch with a foot injury. He is not expected to miss significant time. ... Rams rookie WR Tavon Austin did not have a catch, but dropped a third-down pass in the second quarter. ... Browns WR Josh Gordon, suspended for the first two regular-season games, had two catches for 27 yards. ' ' '
