Felix Sasamoto took top honors in Amigos Golf Club’s two competitions this month to take the July Ace plum.<\/div>\n

Sasamoto first ruled the qualifying tournament on July 8, beating 13 other players and then topped the field anew in last Sunday’s competition at the Kingfisher Golf Links<\/p>\n

In the qualifier, he posted a gross score of 84 that adjusted into a field low net of 65. Dan Quitugua scratched a raw 80 and ended up qualifying just a stroke behind Sasamoto, while John Matsumoto penciled in a gross 86 that earned him the third spot after posting a 68 net.<\/p>\n

Other qualifiers were Sherlyn Jones (89 gross\/73 net), Frank Sablan (81\/73), Diding Hocog (99\/75), Joe Sablan Jr. (92\/75), Joe Tudela (87\/75), and Dr. Larry Hocog (97\/80).<\/p>\n

Last Sunday’s final round took place under a continuous drizzle, but 11 players still braved the tough weather.<\/p>\n

However, the 10 of them could not catch Sasamoto, who had his gross 96 shaved down to net 77 that was good enough to nab the win. He finished with a 142, seven strokes in front of co-runners-up Matsumoto and Frank Sablan. Matsumoto grossed 99 last Sunday for a 81 net, while Sablan carded a raw 84 that worked into a 68 net.<\/p>\n

Diding Hocog duplicated her qualifying mark and settled for fourth place with a total of 150, while other notables included Jones (155), Tudela (157) and Dr. Larry Hocog (169).<\/p>\n

Sasamoto joins January Ace Sablan Jr., February’s Doll Yamagishi, March’s Ben Jones Sr., April’s Ben Jones Jr., May’s Lorraine Babauta, and June’s Terry Guerrero in the monthly winners circle.<\/p>\n

All monthly winners will qualify for the Amigo Ace of Aces tournament where a hefty cash prize and bragging rights for one year are at stake. The Ace of Aces winner will also have his\/her name inscribed on the club’s perpetual trophy, which he\/she can keep until it is handed off to next season’s winner.<\/p>\n

There are over 20 active Amigo members and new players are always welcome.<\/p>\n

For more information, contact John Guerrero at 287-6352, Joe Sablan Jr. at 322-1177 or Lorraine Babauta at 989-7732.<\/p>\n
