Until this year only two \u2018continental\u2019 Europeans had finished as\u00a0number one on the European Tour on more than one occasion: Severiano Ballesteros and Bernhard Langer. Now there are three, after Henrik Stenson signed a final round\u00a0of 65 strokes in the DP World Tour Championship, won by Matthew Fitzpatrick (pictured), to secure his second Race to Dubai title (the first\u00a0was achieved in 2013). Earlier this year, Stenson had also become the first Swede to win a Major, the British Open, and also won\u00a0the silver medal at the Olympic Games. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy to have my name on this trophy once again,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a great year, the best of my career. I always thought it was going to be hard to top\u00a02013, but I think I\u2019ve done it this year, with the Open, the Olympics and the Race to Dubai again. So it\u2019s been a great year and I\u2019m\u00a0delighted to have finished it this way.\u201d <\/p>\n
Recalling the names on the Harry Vardon Trophy awarded by the European Tour to the season\u2019s number one, he added: \u201cWe have Ballesteros, we have Langer, we have Faldo, and then of course in the last few years we are more familiar with the names that won it; and\u00a0Norman is there. It shows a lot of history. To win it once is very satisfying, and to win it twice is even more so. So it\u2019s been a fantastic season, and it\u2019s great to top it off like this.\u201d <\/p>\n
The other top prize on the final day of the season went to Englishman Fitzpatrick, whose\u00a0birdie\u00a0on the 18th gave him victory by a single stroke at\u00a0the DP World Championship at\u00a0Dubai. Tyrrell Hatton was ahead of him by\u00a0one stroke on the 18th tee, but bogeyed the last hole. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
