"Michelle has a lot of talent and I'm really pleased for her – she's been great to work with over the past few years and really deserves it," said HKGA National Coach Brad Schadewitz.

Cheung, who finished fourth at the 2012 Hong Kong Ladies Amateur Open and was second in this year's Hong Kong Close Championship, will be just the fifth international athlete to play women's golf at Wisconsin.

"We're really delighted to be adding Michelle to our golf programme," said Badgers Coach Todd Oehrlein, who saw Cheung play several events in the US as part of the HKGA's junior summer tour. "In addition to her accomplishments on the golf course, I've been extremely impressed by her personally. We're very proud she has chosen Wisconsin."
