SWEDE'S MALLORCA CLASSIC RECOVERY
WINS SHOT OF THE MONTH AWARD

By GORDON SIMPSON

Niclas Fasth of Sweden has been named as the October winner of the RBS Shot of the Month Award by a panel comprising TV, radio and golfing media.
The 34-year-old Swedish players receives the RBS Shot of the Month Trophy and a £1,000 cheque to donate to a charity of his choice.
Fasth produced a stunning shot in the final round on his way to claiming his fifth European Tour title in the Mallorca Classic. With Sergio Garcia in close pursuit at Pula Golf Club, Fasth found himself in rough off the tee at the 14th hole, but drew the ball brilliantly over trees and across water to within 10ft of the flagstick, setting up a crucial birdie 3.
In second place was Indian Jeev Milkha Singh's six-iron second shot to the par-5 17th at Valderrama on his way to capturing the Volvo Masters, while third was Irishman Padraig Harrington, who played a deft 62yd lob wedge to within 4ft of the cup to save par at the 72nd hole of the same tournament which secured his first European Tour Order of Merit title.
