HKGA - EFG BANK AWARDS CEREMONY Max Ting, who qualified for last year’s Hong Kong Open aged only 13, was among 11 Hong Kong golfers crowned Junior Order of Merit winners at the 2014 HKGA - EFG Bank Annual Awards Ceremony, which was held at the Hong Kong Football Club in mid March. Albert Chiu, Chief Executive of EFG Bank in Asia Pacific commented: “It is great to see so many talented golfers here, many of whom have been part of the HKGA EFG Bank Junior Development Programme since we formed the partnership five years ago. EFG Bank congratulates the 2013 Junior Order of Merit winners and we are excited to confirm that once again we will be granting a scholarship to one of the talented young golfers through the EFG Bank Young Golfers Foundation.” William Chung, President of the Hong Kong Golf Association (HKGA) said: “We are here tonight to celebrate EFG Bank’s support of junior golf in Hong Kong. Ranging from eight-year-olds playing in a ninehole tournament for the first time, to 18-year-olds representing Hong Kong in the national junior teams, the HKGA’s Junior Development Programme has flourished over the past five years thanks to the support of EFG Bank.” Based on nine HKGA amateur and junior ranking tournaments during 2013, the HKGA EFG Bank Junior Order of Merit winners were: 15-17 years: Leon Philip D’Souza (boys) and Emily Vickie Leung (girls); 13-14 years: Max Ting and Michelle Lee; 11-12 years: Nathan Han and Selina Li; 9-10 years: Maurice Leung and joint girl winners Chloe Chan and Stephanie Wong; 6-8 years: Julius Yang and Charlene Chung.
