More on Henrik Stenson
Description from Wikipedia:
Henrik Stenson (born 5 April 1976) is a Swedish professional golfer.
Stenson was born in Gothenburg. He turned professional in 1999 and the following year topped the money rankings on the second tier golf tour in Europe, the Challenge Tour. He joined the main European Tour in 2001 and has won six European Tour events. Since 2005 he has finished each year in the top 10 of the European Order of Merit.
Stenson reached the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings in 2006 and the top 10 in 2007. In February 2007, he reached number eight in the rankings following his victory at the Dubai Desert Classic and became the highest ranked European golfer for the first time.
The following week, Stenson then became the first Swede to win one of the World Golf Championships when beating Geoff Ogilvy 2&1 in the final of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. This victory took Stenson to the top of the European Order of Merit and also to a high of 5th in the world rankings, which is also the highest a Swedish player has ever been ranked, surpassing Jesper Parnevik's previous record of reaching seventh place in May 2000. In all, he spent over 40 weeks in the top 10 of the rankings since 2007.
These two victories put Stenson in the lead of the 2007 European Tour Order of Merit, but he failed to add to his success over the rest of the season and finished in fourth place.
Stenson married fellow Swede Emma Lofgren in Dubai ten years after meeting her on a golf course in Sweden. On July 2, 2007, his wife gave birth to the couple's daughter, Lisa.
His name was famously mispronounced during the friday foursomes during the 2008 Ryder Cup. The announcer stuttered, calling him Henrik Stevenson and then Henrik Stevens. He corrected his mistake later on.
