Henrik Stenson has claimed that it would be wrong to be too disappointed about finishing 2015 without winning an event.

The Swede was in contention on a Sunday once again as he claimed a second-place finish at the Nedbank Challenge behind Marc Leishman, who won the tournament by six shots in Sun City.

Despite coming up short in his final tournament of the year, Stenson believes that he can be pleased with the consistency he has found on tour.

"With the chances I've had this year, to be winless is a little disappointing but all in all it's been a solid year," Stenson told reporters. "I've got to look at the good results, the amount of world ranking points and all the rest of it.

"I'm ready to get some rest after a long season. I'll have knee surgery in Orlando on Wednesday and hopefully the recovery will go well and I'll be ready for Abu Dhabi (in January)."

Stenson's last victory came at the World Tour Championship in November 2014.
