MARC WARREN NAMED EUROPEAN TOUR
GOLFER OF MONTH FOR AUGUST

Glasgow's Marc Warren, winner of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, has been named as the European Tour Golfer of the Month for August, emerging as the choice of the selection panel after a memorable four weeks’ golf on the European Tour International Schedule.
Warren, the 2006 Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year, carded a final round 69 for a 12 under par total of 280 before birdieing the second play-off hole on the PGA Centenary Course – the venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup – to beat England’s Simon Wakefield and secure the host nation’s first victory in the tournament’s nine-year history.
The victory, celebrated by the large gallery which included many of Warren’s family and friends, was the 26 year old’s second on the European Tour following his maiden success in the Scandinavian Masters at Barsebäck Golf and Country Club in August 2006.
“Any victory is special, but to win an hour away from home, in my home country, with so many people I knew watching me do it was exceptional,” said Warren. “I have had so many text messages and emails over the past couple of weeks but to receive the accolades from my fellow professionals on the range probably means the most. This award just caps what was a wonderful week.”
