Ben Duenas topped the Amigos Golf Club January Ace of the Month Tournament after he finished with a two-round net score of 139.
He came away with a net 68 in the qualifying round last Jan. 12 at the Kingfisher Golf Links in Talafofo. That net score was built around a gross 83, which minus his 15 handicap, gave him the solid net 68.
Duenas was at it again last Jan. 27 during the ace round at the same golf course, firing a gross 86 for a net score of 71 and the aforementioned two-round total of 139.
He actually finished tied with fellow 15-handicapper Roy Ada, who shot an identical net 139, built around a net 70 (gross 85) in the qualifying round and a net 69 (gross 84) in the ace round.
Duenas eventually edged Ada via the score card playoff hole No. 17. Duenas shot a par and Ada scored a boogie which gave Duenas the January Ace.
In the closet to the pin competition, Justin Mizutani was without peer in hole No. 6, while Ned Norita, Ben Jones Jr., and Terry Guerrero were the winners in holes No. 8, 12, and 15, respectively.
Others who participated in the two-round monthly tournament were Nick Leon Guerrero (net 142), Bill Quitano (143), Frank Ermitano (143), Joe Torres (144), Manny Tenorio (144), Dan Quitugua (146), Ed Terlaje (146), Ben Jones Jr. (148), John Matsumoto (148), Manny Tenorio (149), Joe Tudela (150), Sherlyn Jones (151), Ned Norita (151), Fred Salavaria (152), Reno Celis (153), Joe Sablan Jr. (153), Martin Ada (154), Justin Mizutani (154), Nick Reyes (155), Mike Muna (155), Frank Sablan (156), Joe Sablan Sr. (156), Terry Guerrero (158), Janet Torres (159), Frank Guerrero (161), Grina Mizutani (163), Syl Ada (166), and Ben Jones Sr. (171).
