thanks for the nominations to date all, and, Rich, yes...but with three weeks to go, and some big events to play (two Masters and a US Open Qualies) a lot could change!!

To note, with various team events going on, it is perfectly ok to nominate a whole team if you believe it is a noteworthy effort or if you feel someone in the team stood out or carried them, a player or players alone. All options are ok.

One or two of these may enter the territory of needing the odd narrative update as the month wears on eg Andy as / if he progresses in Toronto, if the original nominator could check at some point, that would be great
