DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Henrik Stenson won the season-ending World Tour Championship Sunday after shooting a final-round 8-under 64 for a 263 total.

With the victory, the Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup and European Tour’s Race to Dubai in the same season.

It was Stenson’s first European Tour win of the year after winning two of the closing four FedEx Cup Play Off Series events.

England’s Ian Poulter birdied his closing two holes to finish with a round of 66 and 19-under par 269.

Victor Dubuisson of France shot a 71 to claim third place on 17 under.
