Red-hot golfer Joe Sablan Jr. claimed the Amigo Golf Club\u2019s January Ace after topping the group\u2019s monthly tournament last Sunday at the Kingfisher Golf Links.<\/p>\n
Coincidentally, Sablan Jr. finished January\u2019s qualifier round last month also at Kingfisher in first place with a net 65, which was adjusted from his gross card of 73. In Sunday\u2019s final round, Sablan remained consistent with his ball striking and timely putting, as he bagged the group\u2019s first Ace of the Month honors for the 2012 season. Sablan finished Sunday\u2019s round with a raw score of 75 that worked into a 68 net score. His combined net tally of 133 was five strokes ahead of January\u2019s runner-up Doll Yamagishi. Yamagishi ended up with a 73 net score in the qualifier after posting a 97 gross count and adding her 65 last Saturday gave her a net 138.<\/p>\n
Notably, Sablan Jr. has been on his A-game in the past months, notching victories in last week\u2019s Grace Christian Academy fundraiser tournament and the Amigo Golf Club\u2019s 2011 Ace of Aces event.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Lorraine Babauta rounded out the third spot with a final net tally of 139 built on her 65 in the qualifier and 72 in last weekend\u2019s event. Sherlyn Jones (74\/69-143) and Frank Sablan (66\/80-146) placed fourth and fifth, while Diding Hocog (81\/66-147), John Guerrero (81\/66-147), Joe Sablan Sr. (78\/74\/152), Felix Sasamoto (73\/80-153), and Ben Jones (77\/82-159) brought up the rear.<\/p>\n
About a dozen players turned out for each event, which drew newcomers Sasamoto, Carl Hocog and Ben Jones Jr. There are now 26 Amigo members and new players are always welcome. Next month\u2019s Amigo qualifier will be announced later. The combined net scores of each month\u2019s qualifier and final round determine the Ace winners. Both men and women compete against one another in a handicap-based net scoring system. <\/p>\n
