NORTON, United States: Henrik Stenson, who had two runner-up PGA Tour finishes in 2013, broke through for his first win of the season, shooting a five-under 66 to capture the Deutsche Bank Championship.
The 37-year-old Swede also moved into first place in the FedEx Cup play-off standings with the victory, surpassing Tiger Woods for the overall lead.
Stenson, who won on the PGA Tour for the first time in over three years, finished at 22-under 262 to tie the tournament scoring record at the TPC Boston.
“I’m just pleased I won here,” said Stenson. American Steve Stricker, 46, finished two shots back in second place.
Stricker’s performance earned him a spot on Team USA after he improved to seventh from 11th in the President’s Cup standings.
Canada’s Graham DeLaet shot 69 to finish alone in third and 54-hole round leader Sergio Garcia, of Spain, shot a two-over 73 to tie for fourth with three Americans, Jordan Spieth (62), Matt Kuchar (66) and Kevin Stadler (68). AFP
