adminDUBAI. — Henrik Stenson, the DP World Tour Championship winner and Europe’s number one golfer, insists that only a Major win or becoming world number one can top the year he has had. On Sunday, the 37-year-old Swede overcame won the US$8 million season-ending championship, thus becoming the first player to win both the FedEx Cup and the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour, and the Race to Dubai and the DP World Tour Championship on the European Tour.
Since finishing third in the Scottish Open in July, the world number three has set the standard in world golf, winning three tournaments and finishing inside the top-10 nine times in 13 starts across both US and European PGA Tours. In that period, he has amassed $17,9 million on the golf course alone, including US$10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup and $1 million for winning the Race to Dubai. Stenson acknowledged this has been a dream season for him, and when he won the South African Open exactly one year ago, he never thought all this would be possible. — AFP.
