Henrik Stenson doesn’t like his chances in the FedExCup finale

Henrik Stenson is known to have a rather short fuse, as those who have witnessed his many temper tantrums during PGA Tour events can attest.

But Stenson, who will start the season-ending Tour Championship fourth in FedEx Cup points, is also a very funny guy. To wit, his response on Tuesday to a query about what it would take for him to beat players like Jason Day, Jordan Spieth (ranked first and second in the standings and first and third in the world, respectively), Rickie Fowler (Deutsche Bank winner and No. 3 in FEC points), and Bubba Watson (No. 5) and prevail at East Lake.

A victory on Sunday by any of the players in the top five guarantees the winner the $10 million bonus that goes with capturing the FedEx Cup. Stenson hit the jackpot in 2013.
