He was also named 2016 Swedish Golfer of the Year, male and female. It was the fifth time he earned this award. 2017 In August 2017, Stenson broke the aggregate scoring record at the Wyndham Championship (258), en route to winning the tournament by one stroke over Ollie Schniederjans. 2018 At the 2018 Masters Tournament, Stenson finished tied for fifth place after 4 even rounds of 69, 70, 70 and 70 with total score −9.
