Tournament host Tiger Woods faded down the stretch as Henrik Stenson almost made albatross at the 15th hole en route to a one-shot victory over at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
Swede Stenson hit a mighty approach shot that almost trickled in at the par-five, and the tap-in eagle gave him the sole lead from fast-finishing Spaniard Jon Rahm.
Stenson held his nerve down the stretch with three straight pars, carding six-under-par 66 at Albany Golf Club.
Stenson’s first victory in more than two years will be unofficial for record purposes on the PGA Tour due to the small 18-man field.
Defending champion Rahm, who also eagled the 15th, albeit with a 30-foot putt, shot 66 for second place.
Woods was tied for the lead with five holes left but hit three poor shots in a row en route to a bogey at the 14th hole and was never a threat thereafter.
With a 69, he finished four shots back in fourth place in a final competitive sortie before leading the American team as a playing captain at the Presidents Cup in Australia next week.
