ONE TO WATCH: BEST AMATEUR
ALEX PACHECO
Michigan amateur Scott Devon, 46, is one of the most popular high goal patrons playing the winter season in Florida, and one of the most successful. His allnorth American Catamount team (American 8-goaler Nicholas Roldan and Canadians Brandon Phillips and Todd Offen) won both the 20-goal tournaments, the Joe Barry Memorial and William Ylvisaker, at International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPCPB) this year. Catamount was the only team to win two high goal tournaments at IPCPB. It was the third time Scott had won the Joe Barry. Catamount also captured the 2008 18-goal International Cup at Royal Palm Polo Sports Club in Boca Raton. Scott has also been successful in 26-goal, having won the C.V. Whitney tournament at IPCPB in 2004 and 2007. He has been one of America’s highest-handicapped amateurs, rated at 4 goals in his twenties and in 2004. He was down to 2 this year, but was raised to 3 after his Florida successes.
