In order to be eligible to receive Christopher Cutler Rich Junior Player of the Year points, players must compete in at least one Mass Golf sponsored event included in the point system (including qualifiers). Any points earned by a Junior competitor in the Richard D. Haskell Player of the Year Standings will be added to their Junior Player of the Year Standings, plus an additional 20%. The points used for calculating the Christopher Cutler Rich 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. Any player who is exempt into a USGA Championship proper will earn the points associated with qualifying for each respective USGA Championship proper. The final decision of the Christopher Cutler Rich Junior Player of the Year rests with the Mass Golf Board of Directors.
