Worldwide Golf columnist Ross Fisher has been named The European Tour's Golfer of the Month for October after his superb victory at the Volvo World Match Play Championship.

Fisher will receive a jeroboam of champagne along with an engraved alms dish in recognition of his performances over the week, which culminated in a 4 & 3 victory over Anthony Kim in the 36-hole final.

"It is a great thing to win the Golfer of the Month award - I was really thrilled when I was told about it," said the 28-year-old. "It is the icing on the cake after what was a fantastic win for me in Spain and it is a huge honour and massive privilege for me to be voted for by the panel."
