DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Henrik Stenson birdied the last two holes Sunday to successfully defend his DP World Tour Championship title at the European
Tours season-ending event.
Damien Perquis Toronto Jersey .Stenson shot a final round 2-under 70 to win by two strokes with an overall 16-under 272 on the
Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.Three of Stensons teammates on Europes
victorious Ryder Cup team — top-ranked Rory McIlroy (68), Victor Dubuisson (68)
and Justin Rose (69) — shared second on 14-under 274.It was the first time
Stenson has successfully defended a title and guaranteed that the 38-year-old
Swede finishes second to McIlroy in the European Tour Race to Dubai.It was such
a great place for me to win here last year, so to come back and successfully
defend is very pleasing, Stenson said. Ill be back and try to make it three wins
in a row next year.Rose picked off three birdies in succession from the 14th
while Dubuisson birdied the last.Stenson went to 15 under when he birdied the
17th. While he was in the rough at the last, he found the fairway with his
second shot before landing his third pin-high right and sealed the fate of his
three Gleneagles colleagues by holing the 15-foot birdie putt.McIlroy had
briefly threatened with birdies on the 14th and 15th.I never expected 14-under
par would have the remotest chance of winning this golf tournament, said
McIlroy. It just seemed like no one really took the tournament by the scruff of
the neck and went with it. But then I didnt play well enough to win this
week.Rafa Cabrera-Bello (75) was leading with three holes to play but the
Spaniard tumbled down the board with back-to-back double bogeys at Nos. 16 and
17 to finish tied for ninth with an overall 277.Cabrera-Bello was looking for a
second victory in Dubai after capturing the 2012 Dubai Desert Classic.

Ahmed Kantari Toronto Jersey . The fourth-year CFLer will miss Thursdays game against the Edmonton Eskimos, still
bothered by his sore left knee. KITCHENER, Ont. -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two
wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in
December. Sweeting claimed a berth in the Page playoffs on Friday, beating Tracy
Horgan of Sudbury, Ont., 5-3 in one of a pair of womens C-Event finals at the
Olympic curling pre-trials. "It feels great," said Sweeting, who will face
Calgarys Cheryl Bernard on Saturday. "We played really well today and we want to
keep it up tomorrow and put ourselves in a position today. Thats what we did
today. The team played really well, so to come out on top is confidence-boosting
for sure." On Friday night, Sweeting had a tight game going with Horgan, who
represented Ontario at the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, through six ends.
But with Horgan holding a slim 2-1 lead, Sweeting was able to make a clutch hit
to score a game-changing three, and never looked back, although she needed to
make a delicate tap with her final rock of the 10th end to nail down the win.
Bernard, meanwhile, prevailed 10-8 in an extra end over Cathy Auld of
Mississauga, Ont., in a topsy-turvy affair that saw Bernard race to a 5-2 lead
through four ends, then fall behind 8-6 through nine. But Bernard made a
spectacular triple takeout to score a game-tying deuce in the 10th, and then
stole the winning pair in 11 when Auld was wide on her game-winning draw to bite
the button. The winner of the Sweeting-Bernard game will move into Sundays
qualifying game for the Roar of the Rings Canadian curling trials in Winnipeg --
the event that will decide Canadas teams for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Eriq Zavaleta Toronto Jersey. "We were definitely here to win," said Sweeting. "Were in a position to do that, so we
have definitely met our expectations." The first womens Trials qualifier will be
decided Saturday night between A-Event winner Kelly Scott of Kelowna, B.C., and
B-Event winner Renee Sonnenberg of Grande Prairie, Alta. The loser of that game
will play the Sweeting-Bernard winner. In mens play, reigning Brier champ Brad
Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., ran his win streak to four games on Friday
night with a 9-6 win over Saskatoons Steve Laycock in the B-Event final. That
set up a tantalizing Page playoff A-B game Saturday against A-Event winner John
Morris and his Kelowna/Vernon, B.C., team. Jacobs took control of his game
Friday night by scoring three in the fifth end, and then took advantage of a
Laycock miscue in the ninth to score a deuce out of thin air. "Mission
accomplished," said Jacobs. "Were in that A-B game, we have two shots to go to
the Trials. We really came out and played well today, and we got a few breaks
honestly. But sometimes you need those breaks to get the wins, and well take
it." In C-Event play, meanwhile, Jake Higgs of Glencoe, Ont., stole a big deuce
in the eighth end -- the turning point in an 8-7 win over Joe Frans of Bradford,
Ont. Higgs advanced to a C-Event semifinal clash with 2006 Olympic
gold-medallist Brad Gushue of St. Johns, N.L., while Frans was eliminated with
the loss.
