Swedes fancy their chances at World Cup

Ryder Cup players Robert Karlsson and Henrik Stenson will renew their partnership when they tee up at the Omega Mission Hills World Cup from Nov 27-30.

The Swedish duo, who combined to good effect in the Saturday fourballs at Valhalla, are amongst the favorites for the $5.5million showpiece, which will again be held at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen.

The tournament gives Karlsson the opportunity to round off a magnificent year in style, having claimed two European Tour titles en route to lifting the Harry Vardon Trophy as European No 1.
