With one of the best performances the Gary Player Course has ever witnessed Stenson pulls off a thumping victory. In the process lifting him to 7th in the world rankings.
Mon December 8th 2008
This weekend 32-year-old Srixon tour player Henrik Stenson destroyed the Gary Player Course at Sun City, to post a 21 under par score to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge, the second biggest winning margin in the history of the tournament. This included five birdies with final-hole bogey the only blip on his scorecard.
Some commentators described Stenson’s performance as defying belief given the back tees of the Gary Player course are amongst the longest championship courses in the World at a staggering 7700 yards!
Stenson now ranked 7th in the world, commented "I'm really happy with this victory - it's a fantastic way to finish the season," We couldn’t agree more as it brings Srixon’s total player wins in 2008 to a historic 39, with more to play. A fantastic way to finish the season indeed!
You could say, Srixon’s star is in the ascendancy...
