2015 Player of the Year Points

IS THIS THE YEAR?

Vargas On The Verge… Again.

 

MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAIf winning the Survivor for the first time, and ending the 7-year Walter Vargas/Chris Moawad reign wasn’t thrilling enough, the win moved Doug Vargas from 3rd to 1st in the standings for Player of the Year. “No way, seriously? Wow, that’s really good news. I’m gonna have a beer on that for sure,” said a surprised Vargas.  It’s the 4th time in 5 years (first since March, 2014) that Vargas finds himself atop the standings. The 4-time Player of the Year runner-up, however, knows all too well holding #1 is one thing, ending the year #1 is another.  In 2013 he held an 11.6 point lead on Chris Moawad heading into the season-ending Tour Championship only to see Moawad win Player of the Year after winning the Tour Championship.  Vargas has a bigger cushion this year, but he knows no lead is safe.

QUICK CHIPS

Doug Vargas’s Survivor victory, the 15th win of his career, made it a personal best 5th straight year with at least 1 victory on Tour.  The 10-year veteran has a victory in all but one season (2010).  He now needs just the Griffith Observatory Championship and the Charly Classic to complete the career slam.

Patrick Bird and Clint Crump will be making their 90th career start next month; Rene Quiroz, his 40th and Nik Freitas his 10th.
