The Asian Team heroes of the EurAsia Cup, including India's Anirban Lahiri, will grace the Asian Tour Awards Night here on April 22, which is poised to be an evening to remember.
The awards night will honour the high achievers of its 2013 season and will also include a time of recognition for members of Team Asia who battled magnificently to share the inaugural EurAsia Cup trophy with Team Europe.
Lahiri, who defeated Victor Dubuisson of France 2 and 1 in the singles to help Team Asia earn a memorable 10-10 draw in the EurAsia Cup, will be among the golfers who will be honoured during the Asian Tour Awards Night.
Besides Lahiri, Team Asia's playing captain Thongchai Jaidee, Vice-captain Boonchu Ruangkit, Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Prayad Marksaeng, Siddikur Rahman and Nicholas Fung will also grace the auspicious evening.
The 2013 Awards Night will be held here for the first time which will coincide with the staging of the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters at Royale Jakarta Golf Club.
Thongchai, who rallied his team to come back from a 0-5 deficit and force a thrilling 10-10 tie with Europe, has also been nominated for the Asian Tour's Player of the Decade award, which was created to commemorate the Tour's milestone 10th season in 2013.
Former Order of Merit champions Jeev Milkha Singh of India and Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant along with Korea's KJ Choi and YE Yang, the first male Asian golfer to win a Major title, are the other nominees in the category where the Tour's members will vote for the winner.
Amongst the other top awards which will be presented during the night include the prestigious Order of Merit trophy, Players' Player of the Year and Special Achievement Award.
"The Asian Tour Awards Night is poised to be a memorable evening as we celebrate our players' achievements in 2013. We are also delighted that seven of our EurAsia Cup heroes will be joining us for the evening which will make this year's Awards Night an extra special affair," said Asian Tour Chairman Kyi Hla Han.
