World number one, Rory McIlroy, has received a new award in recognition of his successful career, the European Golf Journalists Association Annual Trophy, for his spectacular 2012 season, which has resulted in his second Grand Slam triumph and the lead in the two most important professional circuits in the world, the American and the European.
The 23-year-old Northern Irishman, who added this year’s US PGA to the US Open he won in 2011, finished ahead of the triumphant European Ryder Cup team in the voting.
“Wherever we play, golf journalists are there to help promote our sport and give golf a voice, so I’m delighted to win their award,” said Rory.
“I hope I can give them a lot more good things to write about in 2013,” added McIlroy, who has totaled five wins this year.
