Golf: Henrik Stenson is looking to break his major duck after a record-breaking year on tour

 
Henrik Stenson is looking to add a major title to his growing CV after a record-breaking year on both sides of the Atlantic.
 
The Swede dominated the sport from the summer, chalking up seven top 10s from his final nine events on his way to securing the Race To Dubai title and the FedEx Cup.
 
Stenson also topped up his bank balance to the tune of 1m euros with victory in the DP World Tour Championship at Dubai November but it his showing in the majors which gives him hope for the coming year.
 
Second to Phil Mickelson in The Open at Muirfield was followed by a third-placed showing at the USPGA and he believes he now has the game to see him break his duck in 2014.
 
"From the US Open onwards I was on a really, really good run," he told Sky Sports News.
 
"Obviously my game was in good shape but my attitude and state of mind was phenomenal and the success I have had is down to the mental state I was in over that period.
 
"But you have to have a good golf game to back it up as well, and it all came together for me in 2013.
 
"I took so many positives out of my second place at The Open and third at the US PGA and that is what I will be trying to build on for next year, try to up my game that little bit more to put myself right in the mix."
