NORTON, Massachusetts (REUTERS) - Sweden's Henrik Stenson won the Deutsche Bank Championship with a five-under-par round of 66, leaving him with a 22-under total of 262 at the TPC Boston on Monday.

Stenson moves above Tiger Woods into the top spot in the FedExCup standings after the second of the four play-off tournaments.

The Swede's victory was his first on the PGA Tour since the 2009 Players Championship.

Veteran American Steve Stricker finished second, two shots behind Stenson, after firing a four-under 67 which secures him an automatic place on the United States Presidents Cup team.

Overnight leader Sergio Garcia fell back into a tie for fourth after closing with a disappointing 73, ending up five strokes behind Stenson.

World number one Woods wound up joint 65th after shooting a two-over 73, despite low-scoring conditions on a rain-softened course.
