As dominant as Henrik Stenson was last season, winning both the PGA Tour’s FedExCup and the European Tour’s Race to Dubai, he has somehow never won the biggest even of his home country.
Stenson will try and rectify that situation this weekend as he tees off at the PGA Sweden National in the Nordea Masters, an event he has twice finished as the runner-up in.
It’s Stenson’s first trip home since Christmas, and a chance for his first win of the current season.
He’s due to tee off at 8:10 a.m. local time along with Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn, who finished third at last week’s BMW Championship, and Open de Espana winner Miguel Angel Jimenez, who at age 50 recently became the oldest man to ever win a Euro Tour event, breaking his own record set a year ago.
Other noatable names in the field include Jonas Blixt, Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Jose Maria Olazabal,
