| Week 19 - HENRIK STENSON WINS THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP AND CLIMBS TO WORLD NUMBER FIVE |
5/11/09 2:23 AM
Henrik Stenson played a commanding final round of 6-under-par 66 at TPC Sawgrass to take The Players Championship. The Swede was one of six men, also including world number one Tiger Woods and England's Ian Poulter, to start the day in a tie for second place. Poulter played a fine round of 70 to finish second alone, four strokes back. Stenson becomes only the third European winner in the tournament's 36-year history, following Sandy Lyle in 1987 and Sergio Garcia 12 months ago. The win takes Stenson to World Number 5, a rise of 4 places, matching his ranking after his WGC-Accenture Match Play win in 2007. | | |
