Junior Player of the Year Point Standing Notes
If a junior golfer earns points in any Amateur Championship, Tournament, or Invitational listed in the Richard D. Haskell MGA Player of
the Year Point System, he/she will be awarded the amount published plus an additional 20 percent. The points used for calculating the
Christopher Cutler Rich MGA Junior Player of the Year will be the higher of the two for any of the events listed with a Junior Division and
not a combination of the two. The final decision of the Christopher Cutler Rich MGA Junior
Player of the Year rests with the MGA Executive Committee.
