"It's an honour and a privilege to win the Greg Norman Medal, it caps off an amazing year," said the world number two upon receiving the award.
"I'd like to thank the PGA of Australia for launching this medal with Greg Norman and their support over the past 10 years."

"Jason is a wonderful ambassador for golf and it's fantastic to see him add the Greg Norman Medal to his list of successes,” he said.
