Ryder Cup: First Look At Complete European Team
By Adam McGee
Henrik Stenson (40) – Sweden
Ryder Cup Record: 5-4-2
Heading into the Ryder Cup off the back of the best year of his career, Henrik Stenson will be looking to give his best performance at the event to date to cap off a glittering season.
The big-hitting Swede is set to make his fourth appearance at the event, and with the combination of his skill and talent, it would be no surprise if Darren Clarke turns to the 40-year-old to play in every session.
A proven winner worldwide who has dominated on both sides of the pond, Stenson has put together a glittering summer of golf that will be remembered for a long time. His final round duels with Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose at The Open Championship and the Olympics, respectively, were instant classics.
Although prone to bouts of inconsistency, Stenson has never been short on confidence, and fueled by his maiden major success at The Open, he has taken his game to new heights.
The Ryder Cup hasn’t always seen the best of the Swede, but in 2014 a more mature Stenson put in his best performance at the event yet. Don’t be surprised if he goes out and tops that again this time out.
