Henrik Stenson is in a commanding position to win the FedEx Cup, as he maintained the four-stroke lead he began Saturday's third round with at the 2013 Tour Championship.

The Swede entered the PGA Tour postseason finale second in the point standings, and even a lackluster final round will likely net him a victory at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club and the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus.



American star Dustin Johnson is Stenson's closest competition, and he entered the 30-player field at East Lake right on the bubble at No. 30. If the tournament were to end after 54 holes, even a runner-up finish by Johnson would only put him in seventh place in the FedEx Cup point standings.
