Fantasy Golf Round Up: Stenson Shoots into World's Top 5

Week 12 is in the books and Henrik Stenson was the big winner, picking up 405 points in a week he moved back into the top five of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Stenson won the BMW International Open in Germany for his first title since the DP World Tour Championship in November 2014.

We've teamed up with Footjoy to give you the chance to win 'The Iceman's' Footjoy shoes and glove that he used to win in Cologne.

The Swede finished on 17-under-par to win by three strokes over Thorbjorn Olesen and Darren Fichardt.

Hopefully you saw the fantasy picks last week and put the new world number five into your teams.

On the PGA Tour Billy Hurley III won the Quicken Loans National but he is not registered so Bill Haas won 315 points for his T3rd finish at Congressional.

Each week the GM tipster posts his betting tips so look out for them.
