Stenson became the first man to win The European Tour’s Race to Dubai and FedEx Cup on the US PGA Tour in the same year thanks to a commanding six-shot triumph at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
“It took a little time to sink in when I won the FedEx and it just kept on feeling better and better as time went on, and I’m sure this will be the same,” said Stenson, who won the Tour Championship in Atlanta to seal the FedEx Cup title and US$10million bonus.
“I have managed to achieve something very special here this week. To get the double-double, winning the Tour Championship on both the tours, that’s going to take some beating in the future. It’s been a dream year, a dream summer for me, and the season of my life.”
