Henrik Stenson of Sweden almost made albatross on the 15th hole en route to a 1-shot victory over Jon Rahm at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Saturday as Tiger Woods, the tournament host, faded down the stretch.

Stenson hit a mighty approach shot from 260 yards that almost trickled in on the par-5 hole, and the tap-in eagle gave him the sole lead over the fast-finishing Rahm.

Stenson, 43, remained steady late with three straight pars, carding a 6-under-par 66 at the Albany Golf Club on the island of New Providence.
