Alex Fitzpatrick is awarded Golfer of the Month for August

Alex Fitzpatrick has been awarded August's Golfer of the Month presented by DP World, receiving 80.2% of the votes across a poll.

Fitzpatrick, who turned professional in 2022, won the British Challenge presented by Modest! Golf Management last month for his first win on the European Challenge Tour.

The Englishman had finished tied 17th on his Major Championship debut at The Open in July.

The performance jumped him over 200 places in the Official World Golf Ranking to 341st and he has since moved to 166th after a consistent August on the DP World Tour.

After finishing second at the ISPS HANDA World Invitational presented by Aviv Clinics in Northern Ireland, he has since registered top 20s in the Czech Republic and Switzerland.

Fitzpatrick is now 89th in the Race to Dubai rankings and is currently on track to secure his DP World Tour card for 2024.

Todd Clements took second place with 12.3% of the votes.

Clements captured his maiden victory at the D+D Real Czech Masters following a superb 63 in the final round to clinch the title by one shot.

The 27-year-old averaged over six birdies a round on his way to victory.

Picking up the remainder of the votes was Daniel Brown who also became a first-time winner on the DP World Tour at the ISPS HANDA World Invitational presented by Aviv Clinics.

Brown produced a ball striking masterclass with four rounds in the 60s including a 64 in his opening round which led to a five-shot victory over Fitzpatrick.
