PLAYER OF THE YEAR POINTS

VARGAS OVERTAKES BIRD

 

MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAWith his 2nd win of the season Doug Vargas finds himself the season’s new #1 player. It has been 2 years since he was last ranked #1. Vargas’s latest victory, the 12th of his career, places him in a tie for 2nd on the MGM Tour’s all-time wins list; he also moved into 2nd on the Tour’s all-time match play wins list (18-6). The two wins this season marks the 4th time in Vargas’s career that he’s recorded a multiple win season.

Looking For Company(?)

With Patrick Bird and Doug Vargas collecting 4 wins between them this season, the two, along with John Frost, are the only golfers this season who’ve made the cut for the Tournament of Champions in December.
