De Dios, J. Mercado Win Sta, Clara Tourney; Noguera Bags 2nd GOY

October 31, 2009 -- Manny "Nogy" Noguera won his second Golfer-of-the-Year award based on results released today by the DLS Greens 2009 organizers. Nogy won in convincing fashion by tying for first place in the DLS Greens' 2009 season-ending tournament held last October 17 at the Santa Clara Golf  & Tennis Club. The competing golfers teed-off the 6,420-yard white tees of the municipal course. Ron Riego de Dios wound up the winner of the Masters Division via tie-breaker. Jojo Flores was in third two strokes behind at 70. In the Classics Division, Joji Mercado won pulling away with a net 5-under par 67. Mandy Rosales and Dino Africa placed second and third with net 71 and 74, respectively.

Nogy beat last year's Golfer-of-the-Year winner, Bill Gardner, by 70 points, a considerable margin given how the GOY points are structured. Like all previous GOY winners, Nogy competed in all the DLS Greens tournaments held during 2009. Nogy won the inaugural Golfer-of-the-Year award in 2005 and earned this year's trophy on the strength of winning the April tournament at Callippe Preserve Golf Course and finishing runner-up at the July and September tournaments at Crystal Springs Golf Course and Skywest Golf Course, respectively. Three golfers -- Matt Hizon, Bobby Panlasigue and Mandy Rosales -- tied for third.

Congratulations, Nogy!
