ONE TO WATCH: BEST AMATEUR Amateur player Marc Ganzi, 37, won two of America’s only three 26-goal tournaments and was runner-up in the third at International Polo Club Palm Beach this year. As the 1-goal patron of Audi, Mark not only captured the CV Whitney Cup but was also named Most Valuable Player of the final after scoring two of his team’s goals. Mark’s Audi lost in the final of the Gold Cup but then went on to win the US Open Championship, the greatest prize of all. His Florida successes came after he scored a hat-trick in summer polo on the West Coast in 2008, winning all three of the 20-goal tournaments at Santa Barbara Polo Club. He is co-founder, with his polo-playing wife Mellisa, of Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington and is founder and CEO of Global Towers Partners in Boca Raton. Mark took up polo at Eldorado in 2001, following in the footsteps of his father.
