Defending champion and new World Number Two Henrik Stenson held his nerve on a dramatic final day to retain his crown and win the US$8 million DP World Tour Championship, the grand finale of The European Tour’s Race to Dubai, at the Earth course, Jumeirah Golf Estates.
The 38-year-old Swede finished with back-to-back birdies to come home with a two-under-par 70, a total of 16 under 272 and a two-shot victory from Frenchman Victor Dubuisson, Justin Rose of England and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy who tied on 14 under 274. Ireland’s Shane Lowry finished fifth 13 under 273.
