Henrik Stenson of Sweden won the Race to Dubai title on Sunday, confirming him as the European No.1 golfer for 2013.

The Swede clinched his first European player title in style by eagling the final hole for a 64 at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai to win the season-ending DP World Tour Championship title by six strokes from Ian Poulter.

Stenson is the first man to win the European Tour's Race to Dubai title and the US PGA Tour's FedEx Cup title in the same season.

Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald had both carded closing rounds of 67 to finish 15 under, while US Open champion Justin Rose returned a 70 to finish 13 under.

Rose and Graeme McDowell had been able to overtake Stenson with a victory in Dubai, but McDowell finished nine under after a final round of 71.
