And the world’s hottest golfer got hotter.  Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, runner-up at the British Open and WGC-Bridgestone, third-place finisher at the PGA Championship and winner of the Deutsche Bank Championship, capped off the best run of golf of his career by cruising to a wire-to-wire victory at the season-ending Tour Championship, and with it claiming the FedEx Cup title and its lucrative $10 million bonus.  The win marked the completion of a comeback of sorts.  Indeed it returned Stenson to the number four spot in the OWR, a position he occupied briefly after winning the 2009 WGC-Match Play before tumbling out of the top 200, his game presumably affected by great financial losses suffered through investments with convicted swindler Allen Stanford.  But this week at East Lake, Stenson seemed borderline invincible, opening with rounds of 64-66 to take a four-shot halfway lead, then briefly extending the margin as far as nine during Saturday’s rain-bothered round before ultimately ending the day still four up.  But lest the remainder of the field get too excited about their chances on a Sunday which saw the rain-softened East Lake ripe for the taking, Stenson methodically posted two birdies and 11 pars over his first 13 holes to stay out in front, then offset a bogey at the 14th with a bounce-back birdie at the par-5 15th to hold steady down the stretch.  Ultimately posting a two-under-par 69, he never opened the door wide enough to allow anyone else a serious chance of overtaking him.  Twenty-year-old Jordan Spieth, the event’s youngest-ever competitor, did manage a gallant Sunday run, reeling off seven birdies from the 7th through the 16th before an ill-timed bogey at the 17th allowed Stenson an easy walk home.  Spieth (who closed with 64) would tie for second with Steve Stricker and in the process cap a stunning rookie campaign which saw him begin the year without status and end up with a win, nearly $4 million in earnings and selection (as a captain’s pick) to the Presidents Cup team.  Stricker briefly crept within two strokes after eagling the 15th, and his share of second helped him net a $2 million FedEx Cup bonus – a check which would have been for $3 million had he holed birdie putts at either of the last two holes.  World number one Tiger Woods, the top FedEx Cup seed coming in, imploded on Friday afternoon (playing holes 14-17 in six over par) en route to tying for 22nd and a second-place finish in the bonus pool.  Webb Simpson, who carded the tournament’s low round on Sunday (63) finished fourth………………France's Julien Quesne looked like anything but a winner early in the final round of the Open D'Italia, having begun Sunday four shots behind third-round leader Marcus Fraser, then digging his hole significantly deper with a double bogey at the par-4 2nd hole.  Quesne would regain those lost strokes with birdies at the 4th and 6th, then creep back into the edges of contention by recording back-to-back birdies at the 10th and 11th.  By now, both Fraser and his closest 54-hole pursuer, local hero Francesco Molinari, had failed to break par on the outward half, opening the door for Quesne, as well as Ireland's David Higgins and veterans Steve Webster and Fredrik Andersson Hed, all three of whom turned in 33.  Fraser would hang around through 14 holes before three straight bogeys derailed him, while Molinari lingered on the fringes until a double-bogey at the par-3 16th ultimately sunk him to a disappointing closing 75.  Higgins, Webster and Andersson Hed, meanwhile, continued marching nearly in lockstep as each posted two birdies and a bogey over the closing holes - a circumstance which might well have led to a playoff had Quesne not turned up the heat, drawing even even with birdies at the 15th and 17th, then adding one final birdie at the par-4 18th to take a precariouis lead which, in the end, would hold up.  The victory was the second on the E Tour for the 33-year-old Quesne, who'd previously won at the 2012 Open de Andalucia………………Twenty-nine-year-old Neil Schietekat, an eight-year veteran of the Sunshine Tour, finally broke through for his maiden victory at the Platinum Classic, riding a closing 68 to a three-shot victory over Jaco Ahlers.  Schietekat began Saturday’s final round one stroke behind 36-hole leader Jacques Kruyswijk but holed his approach to eagle 404-metre par-4 3rd hole to move ahead early.  He then solidified his position significantly by reeling off birdies at holes 7, 8 and 9, building a large enough lead that eight straight pars and a closing bogey made his back nine a relatively uneventful affair.  Ahlers closed with a fine 69 in cold and windy weather but simply couldn’t make up enough ground, while James Kamte came home in 70 to take solo third, four shots behind.  The unheralded Kruyswijk struggled in trying to close out his first win, carding six outgoing bogeys on Saturday en route to a closing 75 and a tie for fifth place………………A former winner on both the PGA and Web.com Tours who briefly retired for three years due to a wrist injury, Andre Stolz claimed his first victory since the 2011 Thailand Open by defeating fellow Australian Michael Wright on the fifth hole of sudden death to capture the inaugural South Pacific Open Championship in New Caledonia.  Stolz played the most consistent golf throughout the week over the shortish Tina Golf Club layout, posting rounds of 67-66-69-66 to deadlock with Wright (who closed with 69) on 16-under-par 268.  The playoff then involved playing the 342-metre 18th hole repeatedly, with both men posting routine fours over the first four playings before Wright pulled a 3 iron into a lateral water hazard the fifth time, allowing Stolz to clinch his fifth career Australasian Tour title with a routine par.
