In the final round of the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club, Henrik Stenson shot a 2-under 68, winning the tournament and the FedExCup.
Greg Wires, publisher of Golf Minnesota Magazine, took the lead late in the Razor Golf Pick Your Pro season and held on to win easily over Reese Helens, freelance writer.
Wires will receive a complete set of clubs from Razor Golf. The other nine top finishers will also receive product from Razor Golf, based in Tampa, FL.
Not even among the top 200 players in the world two years ago, Stenson capped off the best three months of his career with his performance on Sunday in the TOUR Championship to earn his second victory of the FedExCup Playoffs and win golf’s biggest prize – the FedExCup.
Stenson became the first player to win the TOUR Championship wire-to-wire with no ties since Tom Watson in 1987, the first year of this 30-man showcase.
Also worth talking about is the rookie, Jordan Spieth.
The 20-year-old Texan had four straight birdies on the back nine at East Lake to pull within one shot after Stenson went well over the 14th green and made his lone bogey.
Spieth wound up No. 7 in the FedExCup, the highest ever for a rookie, which is even more impressive considering he started the year without status on any tour.
Henrik Stenson, who finished at 13-under 267, became the first European to win the TOUR Championship and the FedExCup. He walked away with $11.44 million – $10 million for the FedExCup ($9 million of that in cash) and $1.44 million for winning the TOUR Championship.
