Henrik Stenson was pretty impressive Sunday hell he was pretty impressive all week. After playing 120 holes in five days in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. Stenson's all around game was just amazing. In the finals that featured five lead changes and countless mood shifts,Stenson made back-to-back birdies for a 2 & 1 victory.

Stenson move to No. 5 in the world, taking his place among the elite, the highest ranking ever by a Swede, Jesper Parnevik was ranked #7 a few years back. He earned $1.35 million to move atop the PGA European Tour Order of Merit. Pretty impressive week. I had Stenson in my Ottawa Golf Fantasy League so that help vault me to #1 with another top 10 week.
In Mexico Fred Funk won the Mayakoba Golf Classic on the second hole of a playoff with Jose Coceres. Funk becomes the second man to win a PGA Tour event after winning on the Champions Tour(Craig Stadler was the other). Funk earned $630,000 for his eighth career PGA Tour victory.
