KARLSSON LANDS MONTHLY AWARD

KARLSSON LANDS MONTHLY AWARD


Ryder Cup star Robert Karlsson has won September's European Tour Golfer of the Month award after his superb victory in the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Cologne.

The 39-year-old Swedish player claimed his eighth European Tour title after withstanding a strong final-day challenge from Italy's Francesco Molinari.

"Obviously I am delighted. It is great to be acknowledged for all the hard work you put in over a season and this award recognises what was a wonderful win for me in the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Cologne," said Karlsson.

Also commended were Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez, for his third-place finishes in the Omega European Masters and the Mercedes-Benz Championship, and England's Ian Poulter who finished the Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club as top points scorer in the event with four points out of five matches.
