Henrik Stenson vows to ‘keep on working hard’ in majors quest

European No. 1 Henrik Stenson believes he can win more major titles after starting his 2017 campaign with a stunning opening round in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

Stenson won the Open at Royal Troon last year after a thrilling duel with Phil Mickelson, equalling the lowest score in major history with a 63 in the final round.

The 40-year-old Swede went on to win the Race to Dubai for the second time in four years and was quick to target more silverware after a flawless 64 in Abu Dhabi, the only venue on the European Tour’s “Desert Swing” where he has yet to record a victory.
