England 's Sian Reddick has just been named Golfer of the Month by a leading college league in the USA.

Sian won the award for November from the Big 12 – a conference of a dozen universities – and said: “It's nice to win, this is an honour and it means people rate you as a player.”

The 20-year-old from Sene Valley was the 2004 English strokeplay champion and is in her second year at Baylor University , Texas .

During November she returned to competition after two weeks off with a back injury and finished fifth in Kent Youel Invitational tournament in Hawaii . “It was a good result because the conditions were very hard with winds of 40-50mph,” she said.

Earlier in the season Sian tied first in a tournament in Colorado and is currently second on the Baylor women's team with a 74 stroke average. Nationally, she's ranked in the top three for her performance on par threes, where her scoring average is 2.92, and for greens hit in regulation.
