Ireland's Padraig Harrington is the first recipient of the Royal Bank of Scotland Shot of the Month award on the European tour.

Harrington's 102-yard pitch to five feet on the 16th hole of his final round in the BMW Asian Open - after his drive had hit a drain cover and bounced into water - enabled him to keep his two-shot lead before he went on to win.

The award, for November and December, means he can donate £1,000 to a charity of his choice.

Runner-up was Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson for his eight-foot closing putt to win the Omega Hong Kong Open after six second-place finishes.

Third was Gary Orr's 100-yard pitch to the par four 16th in the same event. It took one hop on the green and dropped in for an eagle two.
