McDowell, who celebrated his 34th birthday on Tuesday, said: “It’s nice to have another reason to celebrate, in addition to my birthday, this week. It was obviously a great win at the French Open. I’m delighted it has been recognised with this award, it’s always nice when it’s recognised that you’re playing well.”
