The Papers have their say on Shiv Chawrasia being voted the player of the month for March on the European Tour.
Neil Squires, of the Daily Express, told the European Tour.com: “I think in golf, there really is a big gulf between the winner and the rest, so it is only right that we went with a tournament winner. And I think Chawrasia’s story is a very nice one. Winning on home soil, having come close so many times in his national Open.
“Oosthuizen certainly wouldn’t be far behind after his performance at the Match Play. However, he didn’t win and I think Chawrasia is a more than worthy recipient of this award.”
James Corrigan, of the Daily Telegraph, added: “I think Rory’s excellence should be recognised in getting top five finishes at the two World Golf Championship events, but he has set the bar so high for himself and I think he might have been disappointed not to have won at least one of them.
“Therefore, the vote has to go to SSP, not least because he held off a very strong player in Anirban Lahiri, which is no mean feat. His rags to riches tale is a great story, and he’s a very worthy winner.”
