Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano has been named European Tour Golfer of the Month for October.
The Spaniard played a significant role in Europe's victory in the Seve Trophy before winning the BMW Masters at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai.
The winner's cheque of 851,346 euros fired him to the top of the European Ryder Cup standings and lifted him to fifth in the Race To Dubai standings.
"It's a great honour, I feel very proud to receive this award for the second time," said Fernando-Castano, the first Spaniard to win on the European Tour this season.
Amazing
"Who could have imagined, playing the qualifying school back in 2004, that 10 years later I would have achieved seven victories.
"It's amazing how time goes by. In 2004, you are thinking where your life will end up, and then in 2013, you find yourself with seven titles.
"I look back at 2011, when I had problems with my back, and I can hardly believe how dark a time it was.
"I was full of doubts, and getting back to being competitive again was very tough. But since then, I've won three times. Now I am so happy."
