Jacobson nets monthly award

Swede Fredrik Jacobson has won the European Tour’s Asprey Golfer of the Month award for April.

In his first tournament for 10 weeks because of a wrist injury, Jacobson won the Algarve Portuguese Open, chipping in three times in his final round.

He began the week with a course-record 64.

It was the 50th victory by a Swedish golfer on the circuit.
