DUBAI (Reuters) - Henrik Stenson hopes his final round birdie blitz in Turkey last weekend bodes well for his defence of Europe's season-ending $8 million (5 million pounds) DP World Tour Championship, which starts on Thursday.

Last year, the 38-year-old romped to a six-stroke victory at Dubai’s Earth course that also saw him top the European money list, capping a stellar year in which he also won the U.S. PGA Tour's end-of-season FedExCup.
