Swede Scent of Success

10/27/2009

Swedish star Henrik Stenson was born in Volvo’s home city of Gothenburg; now based in Dubai, the stylish Swede has an excellent match play record and is delighted to be at Finca Cortesín attempting to add the Mark H McCormack Trophy to the WGC Accenture Match Play he won in Arizona in 2007.With his compatriot Fanny Sunneson on the bag, Swede Henrik Stenson is now one of the most feared match play golfers on the planet, winning the WGC Accenture in 2007 and finished third on the defence of his title.

 “I love match play golf, it suits my game and I like the head-to-head, man-against-man format, so I am really happy to have qualified for the world match play, especially as it is now sponsored by Volvo,” said the 33-year-old. “I’ve heard so much about Finca Cortesín and it does not disappoint,” continued Stenson, who said, “It would be nice come Sunday to win the championship sponsored by Volvo from my home city, but it’s a great field, some fantastic players here, so it is one match at a time and see where we go.” www.europeantour.com
