Rory McIlroy wins European Tour Player of Year award
London: Rory McIlroy was Tuesday named as the European Tour Golfer of the Year for the second time in three seasons capping an outstanding 2014 for the World No.1.
The Northern Ireland star won the BMW PGA Championship before back-to-back majors success at the Open and US Professional Golfers Association (PGA).
McIlroy also won the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational as he topped the Race to Dubai standings and helped Europe to a Ryder Cup victory.
“Winning it for the first time two years ago was a fantastic feeling, but I feel like I’m now a more complete player and my all-round game has moved to another level,” the 25-year-old said in a statement released by the European Tour.
“This has obviously been the best season of my career by a long way, and to win The Race to Dubai for the second time really is something truly special.
“That four-week spell over the summer, from the Open to the US PGA Championship, would have to be the best golf of my life.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
