India's Arjun Atwal has been named Asian Player of the Year for 2003 after a successful season capped by winning the Order of Merit title. Atwal, 30, received the accolade, voted by fellow professionals on the tour, at a gala dinner in Bangkok on Saturday.
Atwal, who is now competing full time on the US PGA Tour, won the 2003 Carlsberg Malaysian Open and the 2003 Hero Honda Classic and became the first golfer on the Asian Tour to surpass $1million in career earnings.
