Round 4
In the final round of the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola at East Lake Golf Club, Henrik Stenson shot a 2-under 68, winning the tournament and the FedExCup.
Not even among the top 200 players in the world two years ago, Stenson capped off the best three months of his career with a command performance Sunday in the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola to earn his second victory of the FedExCup Playoffs and win golf's biggest prize -- the FedExCup
Jordan Speith left one last impression on his remarkable rookie season by running off four straight birdies on the back nine at East Lake to pull within one shot after Stenson went well over the 14th green and made his long bogey.
Stenson, who finished at 13-under 267, became the first European to win the TOUR Championship and the FedExCup. He walked away with $11.44 million -- $10 million for the FedExCup ($9 million of that in cash) and $1.44 million for winning the TOUR Championship.
His amazing summer began with a tie for third in the Scottish Open. Stenson followed with a runner-up at the Open and the World Golf Championships-Bridgeston Invitational, third place at the PGA Championship and a win at the Deutsche Bank Championship
Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed going into the TOUR Championship, never recovered from his 73-71 start. He closed with a 67 to tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at East Lake, and wound up second in the FedExCup. That still was worth a $3 million bonus.
Woods wrapped up the PGA of America's points-based award for player of the year, and he captured the PGA TOUR money title and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring title.
Next up is a vote of the players for PGA TOUR player of the year. He is the heavy favorite with five wins this year including a victory at TPC Sawgrass in THE PLAYERS.

Round 2
Mark Wiebe holed an eight-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation to get into a playoff with Corey Pavin and then eventually defeated him with a 20-foot par-saving putt on the second extra hole.
On the second playoff hole, it appeared as if Pavin was in better position to win after chipping his third shot to within 10 feet of the flag. Prior to that, Wiebe putted from the fringe for his third shot but when he failed to get his ball over the ridge in the sloping 18th green, it eventually rolled back to 20 feet. However, Wiebe holed his putt and then watched Pavin come up short on his bid to send the playoff to a third extra hole

EUROPEAN TOUR
ITALIAN OPEN
Site: Turin, Italy.
Schedule: Thursday-Sunday.
Course: Golf Club Torino (7,208 yards, par 72).
Purse: $2 million. Winner's share: $333,640.
Round 4
A brilliant back nine 31 saw Julien Quesne snatch the 70° Open d’Italia Lindt at Golf Club Torino and claim his second European Tour title.
The Frenchman began the day four shots off the lead and looked out of contention when he ran up a double-bogey six on the second, but birdied the fourth and sixth and then stormed home in 31.
The 33 year old picked up shots at the tenth, 11th and 15th before chipping in from short of the 17th green and holing from six feet for another birdie on the last to complete a closing 67.
That set the clubhouse target on 12 under par just moments before overnight leader Marcus Fraser, who was also 12 under, three-putted the 15th and dropped another shot on the par- three 16th after missing the green from the tee.
Fraser eventually signed for a 74 to finish joint eighth on nine under, leaving Ireland's David Higgins and England's Steve Webster to share second on 11 under.

“Not winning never really bothered me,” said Schietekat, “until I came second at the Vodacom Origins of Golf tournament at Simola. I told myself I should have won that one, and I started to take steps to fix things

Kazakhstan.
Round 4 final
Sweden’s Johan Carlsson showed nerves of steel to wrap up his maiden European Challenge Tour title with a seven-shot victory at the Kazakhstan Open on a day when his compatriot Henrik Stenson was hoping to seal a huge victory of his own.
The 27 year old from Gothenburg entered the final day with a two shot lead in Almaty but as his contenders to the throne slowly began to drop away, Carlsson hammered home the win with an incredible show of composure to card a bogey-free five under par round of 67 and record the biggest winning margin in the tournament’s history.
