Stenson still targeting Race to Dubai
Henrik Stenson still believes he could mount a late charge in a bid for Race to Dubai victory.
The Swede is winless on both sides of the Atlantic this year, but could still theoretically overhaul European Tour points leader Rory McIlroy if he produces a strong finish to the season.
Stenson will compete in all three of the remaining Final Series events as he looks to improve upon his current position of 19th the standings. Realistically, he would need to win at least two of them.
"It would be very nice to finish with a win, no question about it," Stenson told a pre-tournament press conference. "I managed to pull it off in Dubai in 2014.
"I think if I could finish off with at least one win in these last three tournaments I'm playing, then I would probably bump 2014 down a place and make this one the second best year.
