Jenson Button is convinced he can battle Force India and Williams at the Malaysian Grand Prix after qualifying ninth for his 300th F1 race.Button managed to split the Force India and Williams drivers, who are engaged in a close fight for fourth in the championship. McLaren has previously predicted it would have the fourth fastest car by this stage of the season and Button thinks he can mix it with those two teams on Sunday.I enjoyed qualifying, Button said. We tried quite a few things yesterday and the car felt much better today. Its always a pain when you are 0,013s behind the car in front of you, but given the Force Indias pace since the start of the weekend, Im very happy to be ahead of both Williams.Weve got the two Williams behind but we are in a reasonable position. We should be able to race the cars around us, theres no reason why not. We improved the car a lot since yesterday, in qualifying it was the first time I really felt comfortable with the car, improving all the way through. It has been interesting seeing how the balance changes when the temperatures drop.We tried something different in Q3, which didnt really work for us. But we would have been 8th or 9th - we got 9th and were happy.Button spent much of the opening qualifying session complaining about traffic and telling race control Esteban Ocon deserved a penalty for not moving out of his way on a flying lap. The Englishman joked that he has earned the right to complain in his 17 seasons of F1.I deserve to whinge, its my 300th race!

RIO DE JANEIRO -- His golf clubs failed to arrive in Brazil when he did on Friday, so in a way, it is business as usual. Henrik Stenson has traveled around the world playing golf, and golf bags have a way showing up at odd times.It was a bit disconcerting to not have the tools that helped Stenson win The Open three weeks ago and contend at the PGA Championship last week.But the top-ranked golfer in the mens Olympic golf tournament nonetheless took part in the opening ceremony on Friday, then nervously awaited the arrival of his clubs on Saturday. And by Sunday afternoon, it was about finding his way around Rio and to the Olympic Golf Course, where full preparation begins Monday.Ive been looking forward to playing in Rio for quite some time, said Stenson, 40, who is ranked fifth in the world. Theres different aspects to it; being part of the Olympic movement and seeing an Olympic Games from kind of the inside. I think its going to be an experience of a lifetime for a sporting fan.And then of course if I can compete and compete well, if I make myself and my country happy, that would be something very special. I have a few nice trophies at home and it would be nice to hang an Olympic medal next to them. I think that would look kind of cool.There is no doubt that Stenson bought into the Olympic golf idea long ago and didnt waver when it became apparent there were issues with the schedule, along with possible health and security concerns.Knowing it was going to be a hectic year from a schedule standpoint, Stenson made the decision to skip two World Golf Championship events: the WGC-Dell Match play, two weeks prior to the Masters; and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, which was two weeks prior to The Open.Stenson elected to play the BMW International Open the week after the U.S. Open, and the plan paid off as he won for the first time worldwide in more than a year. Then after skipping the BMW -- as well as the European Tours French Open -- Stenson used the Scottish Open to prepare for the following week at Royal Troon, where he shot a final-round 63 and set a major championship scoring record at 264.Few would have blamed Stenson if he had elected to pass on the Olympics, with the FedEx Cup playoffs looming as well as the Ryder Cup and the European Tours Race to Dubai.But he was never much bothered by the Zika virus scare.Im not afraid of mosquitoes; Im more afraid of bears, he said.Although the course designedd specifically for the Olympics is home to plenty of wildlife, there had been no bear sightings to date.ddddddddddddIve always been all in, Stenson said. Im in a different situation and it might be the only time when its a competitive advantage to be 40-plus and done with the bambino thing. Ive got three kids at home and Im not looking to have any more. I might be in a different situation then, but the Zika virus is not a concern of mine and like I said, thats the one time when its good to be 40-plus and done with the baby boom.Stenson was not alone in getting an early look at the course on Sunday. Fellow Swede David Lingmerth was also on site, as was American Rickie Fowler and Germanys Martin Kaymer, who played both days of the weekend.A good number of players trickled in to get acclimated to the course, and perhaps that becomes an advantage for them.He desperately would like to win the gold, Stensons long-time coach, Pete Cowen, said. Theres been a lot of negativity with golf in the Olympics, but youve got the guy who is the Usain Bolt of golf at the moment and hes going to the Olympics. That should be a massive positive. He definitely wants to win it.In Sweden, the Olympics are almost as important as a major. Hell probably get more kudos in Sweden for winning an Olympic gold than for The Open. He desperately wants to win it. And hes talked about winning it. Should be nice.Stenson is the highest-ranked player in the field because No. 1 Jason Day, No. 2 Dustin Johnson, No. 3 Jordan Spieth and No. 4 Jason Day all elected to withdraw from the Olympic tournament.It is their loss, Stenson said, and many others including Justin Rose, Masters champion Danny Willett, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Bubba Watson and Fowler, to name a few, have been poised to make it a great experience.Like with any competition, five years down the line, youre not going to think about who wasnt there, Stenson said. Youre going to think about who won the medals and like any other tournament, whether its a World Golf Championships or a big tournament somewhere, theres always going to be a few names not being there.But thats not what you focus on. And hopefully thats not what we are going to focus on with the Olympic Games, either: who didnt go. Youre going to think about who went and won the medals. ' ' '
