                                      DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Henrik Stenson won the Race to Dubai title for the second time in four years on Sunday, and Matthew Fitzpatrick claimed the biggest victory of his short career at the World Tour Championship. Larry Andersen Jersey .Fourth-ranked Stenson shot 7-under 65 in the final round on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates to stay ahead of his rivals in the year-long race. The Swede earned a bonus of $1.25 million as the European Tours top player.The 40-year-old Stenson, who also won the Race to Dubai in 2013, ended Sunday on 12-under 276 in a four-way tie for ninth, which included Rory McIlroy (65).Ive always thought it was going to be hard to top 2013, but I think Ive done that this year, said British Open champion Stenson. Maybe not to the level of golf over six months, but certainly with the highlights of winning the Open, (silver at) the Olympics and taking the Race to Dubai again.Stensons closest rival in the Race to Dubai, Masters champion Danny Willett, remained second after finishing tied 50th in the tournament with a 70, some 11 shots adrift of Stenson.Fitzpatrick, who earned his card exactly two years ago, shot 5-under 67 to finish on 17-under 271. The 22-year-old Englishman finished one stroke ahead of compatriot Tyrrell Hatton (68), who had a bogey on the final hole after his tee shot trickled into the stream that bisects the fairway.I love playing golf obviously, but its been a long year for me, said Fitzpatrick, who is expected to move into the top 30 from his current 51st ranking. This means the world ... For me to win on the final week of the year is special.Fitzpatrick survived a scare on the 15th hole when he pulled his tee shot into thick trees, but the ball somehow kicked back into the rough and he made par from there.South African Charl Schwartzel (67) was two shots further behind in third.Overnight leader, Frances Victor Dubuisson (72), was among those tied fourth at 275. That group included Austrias Bernd Wiesberger (68), Italian Francesco Molinari (70), Dane Soren Kjeldsen (68) and Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts (71).The Race to Dubai did not need any major calculations when leader Stenson finished best among the four players in with a chance.His score of 65 on Sunday tied McIlroy but left behind his two closest rivals, Willett and Swedens Alex Noren.Noren could not reproduce the form that saw him win last week in South Africa which included a sensational 9-under 63. He finished with a double bogey on the 18th for a round of 71, which put him four behind Stenson.Stenson started the day tied with McIlroy on 5-under, and the two were paired together. Between them, they had 15 birdies, three bogeys and one eagle -- McIlroy on the par-5 No. 7.For Stenson, its been a great year, the best year of my career.Stensons first victory this season came as late as June, when he won the BMW International Open in Munich with a three-stroke victory. He then went toe-to-toe with Phil Mickelson at the Open, with Stenson shooting the lowest ever final round (63) by a winner. Cheap Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys .

HONOLULU -- Mississippi State is getting used to a new role these days.Just five days after notching their biggest win under fifth-year coach Vic Schaefer, the seventh-ranked Bulldogs held off a pesky Oregon team, 75-63, in the first day of the Rainbow Wahine Showdown on Friday.Victoria Vivians scored 17 points and Morgan William added 14 to pace Mississippi State (5-0).Vivians, a 6-foot-1 junior guard and a first team preseason All-SEC selection, made 7 of 13 shots from the field despite being in foul trouble for much of the second half.Oregon cut the Mississippi State lead from 39-30 at halftime to just two points following Sabrina Ionescus 3-pointer from the right corner with 5:57 left in the third quarter.However, Vivians drained a deep 3-pointer from the left wing on the Bulldogs next possession and added a 10-foot pull-up to stretch their lead back to 49-42.She picked up her fourth foul with 1:55 left in the third quarter and played just 10 minutes after halftime.Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer praised the play of reserve guards Blair Schaefer and Roshuna Johnson, who combined for 24 minutes of game time while relieving Vivians.I was real proud of Blair and Roshuna coming off the bench and giving us those quality minutes at that spot, said Schaefer, whose team posted a 79-68 win over then-No. 7 Texas Sunday.Were learning that were the hunted now. Weve been the hunters for a long time, (but) we are now the hunted and thats a new role for this team, so were learning how to accept that night in, night out, Schaefer said. I thought tonight we took their best shot in the third quarter and came back and answered it with my best player in foul trouble.Mississippi State (5-0) shot 51.9 percent from the field.Lexi Bando and Sabrina Ionescu each scored 14 points for the Ducks (4-1).In the second half we got back to what we like to do, which is get the ball side, top, side, Oregon coach Kelly Graves said.

Oregon was called for 27 fouls to 19 for Mississippi State and had three players finish with four fouls.BIG PICTUREMississippi State: has now won 33 of its last 34 regular-season none-conference games going back to the 2014-15 seasons, including 13 straight victories in such games.Oregon: shot just 39.3 percent from the field in the first half, but kept it close by shooting 50 percent (12 of 24) after halftime. The Ducks were playing their first game away from home.HIGHLIGHT REELOregon got within six points of Mississippi State following a free throw by Morgan William that made it 53-47. The Ducks looked to cut the deficit even further when Jayde Woods broke free for a transition lay-up, but Breanna Richardson soared from behind and blocked her shot with just seconds remaining in the period. The big defensive play was a four-point swing for the Bulldogs and helped them regain momentum heading into the final quarter.INFLUX OF YOUTHOf the 14 players that saw court time for Oregon, half of them are freshmen. The Ducks recruiting class, which is ranked third nationally behind Maryland and Baylor, features four players that were Gatorade state players of the year in high school, including Ionescu, last years national player of the year.We grew up a lot tonight, theres no doubt, Graves said. Thats a senior-laden Mississippi State team. Those are veterans and a couple of times we had four freshmen on the floor for long stretches. Theyre just learning how to play the game. Theyre really talented, but physically, were not ready for this yet. That being said, we hung with them for a long time.UP NEXTMississippi State will play San Jose State Saturday, which will mark just the second meeting between the programs and first since Dec. 19, 2004, when the Bulldogs held on for a 66-60 win over the Spartans.Oregon faces tournament-host Hawaii Saturday, which leads the all-time series against the Ducks 3-1.
