Spain's Pablo Larrazabal has been named European Tour golfer of the month for June after his maiden victory in the French Open.
The 25-year-old led from start to finish and held off a chasing pack which included Colin Montgomerie and Lee Westwood, becoming the first player in history to come through the qualifying event to triumph in continental Europe's oldest national Open championship.
"I played great golf in France and to win the golfer of the month award is a superb feeling for me," said Larrazabal, whose victory at Le Golf National secured an appearance at next week's Open.
"In the third and fourth rounds in France I probably played the best golf of my life and to beat guys like Colin Montgomerie and Lee Westwood is amazing."
