Rickie Fowler battled back to record a one-stroke victory over Henrik Stenson in the Deutsche Bank Championship in Massachusetts.

Fowler's final round of 68 included an eagle, two birdies and two bogeys, enough to land him his third PGA Tour title by a single shot from Stenson, whose double-bogey five at the 16th proved crucial.

Stenson led by two with five holes to play but a 40-foot birdie from Fowler at the 14th cut the deficit in half and he kept his nerve from there on in to win at TPC Boston.

Stenson was never behind until his tee-shot at the par-three 16th was short and bounced into the water and it cost him a five and from one shot ahead, he trailed by a stroke.

Fowler made par on the last two holes, enough to claim the title and move to number five in the world rankings with a 15-under total overall.

It was Stenson's second straight runner-up finish in the FedEx Cup play-offs.

Charley Hoffman birdied the final two holes to sign for a four-under 67 and take third place on 11 under.

Sean O'Hair and Matt Jones both carded three-over rounds of 74 to fall out of contention and finish in a five-way tie for fourth on eight under.
