DP World Tour Championship, Dubai
Jumeirah, Golf Estates
UAE
Round 4 Final
Henrik Stenson hailed a "dream season" as he claimed a historic double in fitting fashion by storming to victory in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
Stenson became the first man to win The Race to Dubai and FedEx Cup on the US PGA Tour thanks to a commanding six shot victory at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
The 37 year old carded a flawless closing 64, signing off in style with a tap-in eagle on the 18th, to finish with a tournament-record total of 25 under par, with money list rival Ian Poulter a valiant second following a 66.
France's Victor Dubuisson was two shots further back in third, with Dutchman Joost Luiten fourth and a trio of former World Number Ones - Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood - sharing fifth
Stenson won his first European Tour title in 2001 but then went through the first of two career slumps, the second coming in 2011 and leaving him 230th in the Official World Golf Ranking at the start of last year.
Add in some serious health problems - one caused by a parasite infection he contracted while on holiday - and Stenson's form in 2013 is all the more remarkable, with a share of third place in the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open followed up by runners-up finishes in The Open and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and third place in the US PGA Championship in a five-week spell.
He then won the second FedEx Cup play-off event, the Deutsche Bank Championship, to move to the top of the standings, and although Tiger Woods regained top spot as Stenson finished 33rd in the BMW Championship in Chicago, as one of the top five heading into Atlanta Stenson's destiny was firmly in his own hands

LPGA
Lorena Ochoa Invitational Presented by Banamex
Guadalajara, Mexico
Round 4 Final
Lexi Thompson displayed nerves of steel during the final round of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational as she sank a 5-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to clinch her second LPGA Tour victory this season
The Floridian fired rounds of 72-64-67-69 to claim a one-stroke victory over Stacy Lewis.
It was head-to-head battle between Thompson and Lewis throughout the majority of Sunday’s final round. After both players made the turn at 2-under-par for the day, Lewis dropped three strokes behind Thompson with a bogey at the par-4 12th.
Despite the untimely bogey, Lewis quickly recovered with back-to-back birdies at the par-4 12th and par-3 13th to pull even with Thompson. The string of birdies would continue for Lewis at the par-4 14th and for the first time this week, she found herself atop the leaderboard by one stroke.
While Lewis quickly made her way to the top of the leaderboard, she saw her lead dwindle with a bogey at the par-3 17th to drop into a tie with Thompson

Former amateur stars Albin Choi and Justin Shin were among the four Canadians who advanced to the final stage of the Web.com Tour qualifying school
Choi, the former Canadian Amateur Champion and an eight time winner in college, finished tied for 16th at a second stage qualifier at Deerwood Golf Club in Kingwood, Texas. He was joined by Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., who finished tied for third, and Devin Carrey of Surrey, B.C., who finished in a tie for eighth. Sloan is looking to get back onto the Web.com Tour after finishing 87th on the money list in his rookie campaign in 2013
Dustin Risdon of Calgary (T33 at Kingwood), Edmonton's Steve Lecuyer (T64 at Kingwood) and Will Mitchell of Whitby, Ont. (T56 at McKinney) all failed to advance past the second stage
Over at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, Justin Shin of Maple Ridge, B.C. finished 15th and was among the 22 players who advanced to the final stage. Shin, like Choi, turned pro earlier this year after leaving college. The former Team Canada National Team Member made one of three cuts on PGA Tour Canada, finishing tied for 18th at the Great Waterway Classic in his first professional event.
There are four more second stage qualifiers scheduled for this week.
Everyone advancing to the final stage in La Quinta, California next month is guaranteed at least conditional status on the Web.com Tour in 2014
Australian Masters
Nov 14-17, 2013
Par Rating: 71
The Royal Melbourne Golf Club Inc.
Adam Scott has successfully defended his Talisker Masters title, winning by two shots at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
Starting the day four shots clear of the field, Scott saw his lead dwindle as American Matt Kuchar fired around the composite layout.
A playoff loomed as the pair were tied on 14-under the card before a double bogey on the 18th for Kuchar handed Scott the title.
“You can’t think about the result until you’re walking up the last and you know where things stand,” said Scott who made par on the last to finish with a tournament total of 14-under 270.
The Talisker Masters is Adam Scott’s second PGA Tour of Australasia title in as many weeks meaning the Queenslander has only the Emirates Australian Open standing in the way of his Aussie golf Triple Crown
