Intro:

Sweden's Henrik Stenson retains his DP World Tour Championship title in Dubai, finishing two shots ahead of Rory McIlroy.

Script:

The final round of the DP World Tour Championship teed off in Dubai.

Victor Dubuisson's four-under-par round of 68 saw the Frenchman finish the tournament joint-second and remain without a European Tour win this season.

Joining the Perth International runner-up at 14-under is Englishman Justin Rose, who made the putt of the day on the third hole.

The third and final player tied in second spot is Rose's Ryder Cup team-mate Rory McIlroy. The world number one Northern Irishman was unable to add this trophy to a cabinet that boasts this year's US Open, PGA Championship and the European Tour's Race to Dubai crowns.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson shot back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th to card a 70 and finish 16 under par. The 38-year-old won the competition by two shots and retains his World Tour Championship title.

The win means Stenson stays in second place in the Race to Dubai standings behind McIlroy -- who had already made sure of the title a week ago.
