The Englishman triumphed with an impressive 53 per cent of the votes after following up victory at the BMW SA Open hosted by the City of Ekurhuleni with back-to-back fifth place finishes in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA and the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
His countryman and reigning Race to Dubai champion Tommy Fleetwood was voted into second place after successfully defending his title in Abu Dhabi, while Li Haotong was third after sealing his second European Tour title in Dubai and becoming the first male player from China to break into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Rounding off a great month for English players, Tyrrell Hatton took fourth place following a flawless debut appearance in the EurAsia Cup, winning three points from three to help Thomas Bjørn’s European team to a 14-10 win over Asia.
