Chawrasia wins Asian Tour Golfer of the Month for March
SSP Chawrasia of India was honoured as the Asian Tour Golfer of the Month for March, thanks largely to his heroics at the Indian Open.
Chawrasia produced a gutsy display of golf in his National Open last month to win his third Asian Tour title which was also his fourth at the international level.
The victory was especially sweet for Chawrasia, who settled for second best on four occasions in the Indian Open before his triumph at the Delhi Golf Club.
“I’m delighted to win the Asian Tour Golfer of the Month. I’m proud to receive this accolade and I would like to thank Hilton and all my fans for voting for me. I’ll strive to work even harder and continue to achieve more success this season,” said the 37-year-old Chawrasia.
The monthly winner of the Golfer of the Month award is chosen through an online poll conducted on Asian Tour’s media channels. The winner of the Golfer of the Year award at the end of each season is also chosen through the same process.
Chawrasia won the award ahead of Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Scott Hend of Australia where the trio were nominated by a selection panel before going into a voting process.
Chawrasia is the second Indian to win the Asian Tour Golfer of the Month award. Reigning Asian Tour number one Lahiri won the June – September title last year before going on to sweep the Asian Tour Golfer of the Year award.
