Top award for Lewis

Posted On 12/21/2011 00:25:49 by fiona18

After a superb start to his professional PING G20 Irons career, Tom Lewis has been named the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year for 2011.

Lewis made history back in October by picking up a European Tour victory in only his third start a a professional, an achievement that had all but assured him this accolade.

He follows in the footsteps of his local club's most famous figure, Sir Nick Faldo, who went on to become a six-time major champion after picking up the same award at the start of his PING G20 Irons career.

"I appreciate this honour very much. It certainly tops off what has been an amazing year," said the 20-year-old.

"I think my dad is more excited about me winning this award than my first Tour victory in October! I am very proud to be named The Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year and I feel very fortunate as there were some strong contenders for this title who played with PING G20 Irons consistently well all season."

Lewis first gained prominence after opening with a 65 in the first round of the Open Championship at Royal St George's back in July. He was playing alongside American veteran Tom Watson, the player who he was named after.

Following that hugely encouraging PING G20 Irons performance, Lewis helped the Great Britan & Ireland Walker Cup side win their match against the Americans at Royal Aberdeen.

It would be his last outing as an amateur; he turned professional shortly thereafter and wasted little time in announcing his presence in the ranks.

He secured a top-10 finish in his first start at the Austrian GolfOpen, but far better was to come at the Portgal Masters a few weeks later, where he closed with a 65 on Sunday to pick up his first professional PING G20 Irons victory.

Even the great Tiger Woods needed five events before he picked up his first win, while Rory McIlroy required all of 38 events to taste success.

Lewis was full of praise for the role his dad has played in his development.

"I might not even have been a golfer if it wasn't for dad, but he has definitely made me into the golfer I've become. He is really the person who made this possible.

"It's been a rollercoaster year. I didn't perform very well in the first half then had the honour of playing with Tom Watson in the first two rounds of The Open, managing to share the first round lead.

"It was wonderful to win the Silver Medal and shoot 65 in the first round, but I think people will remember the 65 in Portugal because it secured my first professional win.( PING G20 Irons)

"It only really hit me when I arrived at the airport to fly home when everybody was saying 'well done'. It was something I could scarcely have believed at the start of the season.

"It was a great year and a privilege to be part of the winning Walker Cup team in my final amateur event. But now I have a two year exemption on The European Tour and can't wait to get started in 2012."

Lewis succeed's last year's Rookie of the Year winner, Italian Matteo Manassero.

IN A BEAUTIFUL feat of jujitsu,100M IN FUNDING MUSIC TO HIS EARS, one of Kenneth Starr's deputy prosecutors found himself being grilled last week in a courtroom in Little Rock, Ark.,Chanel flap bags, answering questions from Susan McDougal's lawyer, Mark Geragos. McDougal is supposed to be on trial for refusing to answer Starr's questions about the Whitewater real estate deals of the 1980s. But Geragos has turned this case into a cutting investigation of Starr's prosecutorial tactics. "Did you ever draft an indictment of Hillary Clinton?" Geragos asked deputy prosecutor Hickman Ewing. Ewing could not say for sure. One of Starr's other lawyers objected to Geragos' line of questioning. But Geragos persisted. Finally, Ewing came clean. Yes, he had, in fact, drafted an indictment of Clinton back in 1996, and had shown it to other lawyers in his office. But no charges were ever filed. Pause a moment to reflect on the wonderful irony here.

A Manhattan banker nearly killed last year when a careening balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade sent a lamppost crashing down on her says she's been robbed of her old self. "I'm not the same person," Kathy Caronna, 34, told People magazine. "I don't know if I'll ever be that way." But, she says, "I'm happy to be alive." Speaking publicly for the first time since the accident that split her skull, Caronna said the last thing she remembers was handing her infant son to her husband seconds before the accident. But as she spoke, it became clear that she still has a long way to go on the road to recovery. Her memory has suffered. "This year, we are probably going to my mother's for Thanksgiving," she said at one point. "It's going to be emotional for sure, because everybody has a memory of what happened last year. I don't." Then her husband, Massimo, gently reminded Caronna they were spending the holiday in the Caribbean. "We are going to look forward to Christmas and just skip Thanksgiving," he said.

Alison Steele, the soft-voiced, seductive "Night Bird" who transformed late-night rock radio and carved out a new place for women in the medium, died yesterday of stomach cancer at Lenox Hill Hospital. She was 58. "Alison was one of those pioneer women in radio," said Tom Chiusano, general manager at WXRK-FM. "She was one of the most important women in radio. You hate to lose the pioneers." "She was the one who really blazed a trail for all women in radio," said Jo Maeder, a disc jockey known as the Rock 'n' Roll Madame who broadcasts on Z100. The freckled, red-haired Steele, who grew up in New York, first made her mark in radio broadcasting in the 1950s with her then-husband on a show called "Ted Steele and the Redhead." Her big break came when WNEW-FM hired her in 1966 for an all-woman lineup of disc jockeys. The novelty format was a flop, and WNEW-FM was converted to progressive rock. But the station retained Steele. On Jan. 1, 1968, she broadcast her first show as "The Night Bird," and the combination of

If anything convinced the Baltimore Orioles in the 1969 World Series that the Mets were walking with destiny, it was the pair of stunning catches made by center fielder Tommie Agee in Game 3. The plays by No. 20 still live on the outfield scoreboard at Shea and are part of the firmament in any Met fan's universe. But the man who helped make his team miraculous died yesterday at the age of 58. Agee suffered a massive heart attack at the midtown Manhattan office building where he worked for Stewart Title Insurance Co., and was declared dead later at Bellevue Hospital. "There are two things more than anything else that will always stand out for me about Tommie Agee," former Mets teammate Tom Seaver said. "The first of course is those two catches he made in the '69 World Series plus the one (Ron) Swoboda made. If nothing else, they changed those games around. "Even more so, though, I remember that first year (1968) he was with us and how he struggled. ... He had that awful season.

Mayor Giuliani and Gov. Patakiwho haven't agreed on much latelyboth took aim yesterday at the cover of The New Yorker magazine, slamming it as an unfair potshot that degrades all cops. This week's cover depicts a beefy, cartoon-character cop standing at a carnival game booth New Balance 576, pointing a gun at silhouetted human targets. A sign on the shooting gallery reads: 41 shots 10 cents. Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant supra footwear, was killed Feb. 4 in the Bronx by four police officers who fired 41 bullets. Speaking in Albany, Giuliani attacked the cover as an example of the "sick new balance running shoes," "distorted" and "virulent prejudice" against police officers. He went on to praise city cops for being a "model of restraint." Pataki agreed that the Art Spiegelman illustration was "disappointing." The Diallo shooting was tragic, he said, but is "not grounds to take a shot at the entire Police Department."
