Stenson could continue his ascent to #2 and it won't really matter. It's a one man tour as far as the television ratings and public interest are concerned.

This seems to be Stenson's year to shine, and he's already prevailed at the Dubai Desert Classic, and now here, both times with Tiger in the field.
I'm a Tiger fan, but really, with the way match play is, I wasn't too surprised that Tiger got knocked out, he didn't have his best game on that day, I'm surprised that he even had that putt to win, and then that little ball mark got him, that's just unfortunate, and that's how he's human like us, he messes up like everyone else.
Harrington probably was better than how he finished, he did say that he was tired, 3 tournaments in 4 weeks does wear out the best golfers, that's why Tiger plays fewer tournaments than pretty much everybody else, so that when he plays, he has his best game.
And finally, so far, Charles Howell III also seems to be having a great year, with 2 runner-up finishes and a win. He had the same case as Tiger this week, they both fell in the third round because they just didn't play as well as they had. But he will bounce back, and this will be his breakout year.

Except for padraig losing in the 2nd round, i thought it was great. Im so glad that one a european won, and two that it was a guy like Henrik Stenson. Hes been a great player for awhile now, but not many people know of him because he plays on the european tour. Now i hope this win helps europeans to win a major or two this year. Having tiger not win this tourny is great because it stops them from talking about his win streak on the pgatour even though he has lost many times but werent considered a pga tour event. GOOD JOB HENRIK!
GO PADRAIG....and the rest of them europeans! =]

Nick O'Hern played well but he was too conservative with some shots. When he played Tiger he took a nine iron and hit it safely in the middle of the green. Tiger was in a bad spot but still managed to hit it in close. This occurred on the final stretch of the match. When O'Hern played Stenson he played a conservative shot on one of the final holes because stenson was in the desert but stenson hit a fantastic shot to get on the green and Nick O'Hern was out because of his conservative play.

Overall it was a good tournament and the outcome was great, I'm a bit biased tho, Henrick is a friend of the family

stenson is looking pretty good right now. first against tiger woods and ernie in dubai and now six straight matches in the match play. also he sank the winning ryder cup putt. he is pretty good. sleeper pick for masters
