Pitch wins shot of the month prize for Angel

Angel Cabrera’s pitch on the first hole of his Masters play-off has won him the European Tour Shot of the Month award for April.

Cabrera needed to get up and down after going in the trees with his drive, and wedged to six feet, made the putt and then won his second major title on the next hole.

Second place went to the North’s Michael Hoey for his approach to the long 15th as he captured his first European Tour title in Portugal, and third was awarded to Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee for his eight-iron to four feet in the Ballantine’s Championship play-off in Korea.
