Henrik Stenson finished off the best stretch of his career Sunday with the biggest

payoff in golf.

Stenson closed with a 2-under par 68 to win the Tour Championship by three shots over 20-year old Jordan Spieth and Steve Stricker.  The 37-year-old Stenson won the FedEx Cup and its $10-million bonus.  He also earns $1.44 million for winning the Tour Championship.

Spieth finished with a 64 and Stricker a 65.

Tiger Woods went into the tournament as the No. 1 seed, but rounds of 73 and 71 during the first two days never allowed him to get close to Stenson.  Woods shot a final round 67 to tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at East Lake.  He wound up placing second in the FedEx Cup, earning a $3-million bonus.

Stricker had birdie opportunities on the last two holes but missed.  Had Stricker made one of them, he would have earned an extra $1-million.  Instead of finishing second in the FedEx Cup, Stricker had to settle for third and the $2 million bonus.
