(CNN) -- Teenage golf sensation Noh Seung-Yul has entered the sport's record books as the youngest player to top the Asian Tour's money list. The 19-year-old, who won $822,361 on his way to becoming the Asian Tour's No. 1, was honored for his achievements at an award ceremony in Thailand following the conclusion of the 2010 season. As well as claiming the Order of Merit trophy, the South Korean was also named the Players' Player of the Year, but was unable to accept the accolades in person after having recently undergone corrective eye surgery. "I am honored becoming the youngest-ever Asian Tour champion in history," the world No. 66 said in a video message played at the event.
