Henrik Stenson claims it has been a great year for European golf despite a disappointing Ryder Cup campaign which saw Team USA retain the biannual trophy for the first time since 2008.The Open champion and Olympic silver medallist produced the worst winning percentage at Hazeltine this year with 54.55%, behind Rory McIlroy (57.14%), Sergio Garcia (64.06) and Justin Rose (71.43) to seal his second Ryder Cup loss in four appearances.Stenson, playing alongside Rose in the morning foursomes on day 1, lost to Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed contributing to Team USAs first sweep at a singular session since 1981.Speaking to PA Sport, Stenson said: Its been a great year for European golf and the European Tour and even though we didnt bring back the Ryder Cup, I look back knowing that winning the Open helped so much in winning the Race to Dubai.It has been an impressive year for Stenson individually, who claimed his first major at Royal Troon in July after an epic final-day battle with multiple major winner Phil Micklelson as well as the European Tours Race to Dubai for the second time.Stenson also claimed the BMW International Open and 11 other top-10 finishes in 2016 - which has seen him win the annual Golf Writers Trophy.We talk about receiving recognition from your colleagues and your peers but in this instance its great to be receiving that recognition from some of the most knowledgeable media in the sport.So its wonderful to be chosen as their Golf Writers Association Trophy winner and I feel very honoured to win the award for a second time in my career.Stenson faced competition from Masters winner Danny Willett, who also picked up his first major, Olympic champion Rose and Alex Noren, who collected four European Tour titles in 2016.While Danny has to be congratulated for winning the Masters, I again have to thank the Association of Golf Writers in voting me as their Golfer of the Year, added Stenson.Ill never grow tired of being weighed down with trophies.PA Sport contributed to this article.
