Henrik Stenson is hoping a well-managed schedule will help him end his winless run and claim a maiden win on home soil at the Nordea Masters. Daniel Descalso Jersey . The world No 6 hasnt won in 13 visits to his home event, with his best performances being when he ended runner-up to Luke Donald in 2004 and lost out in a play-off to Mark Hensby a year later.Stenson is currently the only player in the worlds top seven yet to claim a worldwide victory in 2016, with top-six finishes in Abu Dhabi and Dubai his best showings so far, while he hasnt reached the winners circle since the 2014 DP World Tour Championship. The Swedes form has dipped since narrowly missing out on Houston Open victory in April, but returns from a three-week break keen to start a busy summer with a strong display in Stockholm. Stenson underwent a knee operation at the end of last season With the schedule the way it is, Ill only get to spend another three weeks in Sweden this year, so I want to make the most of it and enjoy myself. Stenson told a press conference on Tuesday. And the best way of enjoying it would be to win this week.Ive had a second, two thirds and a sixth place from the nine tournaments Ive played so far, so thats a pretty decent record but it could obviously be better. I havent played much since Augusta because Ive been trying to pace myself, so at least Im well rested heading into a busy period. I dont have much of a break before the Ryder Cup, so its a pretty packed schedule and hopefully I can play well on my weeks on, then rest well on my weeks off.Stenson tees off alongside BMW PGA Champion runner-up Rikard Karlberg and three-time Nordea Masters champion Lee Westwood - whose last European Tour victory came at this event in 2012 - for the opening two rounds. Westwood won the tournament in 1996, 2000 and 2012 Westwood is impressive form having followed a runner-up finish in the Masters by posting a top-10 in Ireland and a strong showing at Wentworth, with the 43-year-old keen to continue that run this week.Im looking forward to going back, Westwood told the EuropeanTour.com. Ive won it three times in three different decades, so its one of my most successful tournaments and itd be lovely to win it a fourth time. Its in a great spot on the side of the lake with some lovely scenery, so itll be nice to go back. They have a very good variation of holes, and its an exciting finish. The tournament has been very good to me and Ive got a great record, so hopefully I can keep the run going next week.
