one to watch This is the second time that American 1-goal amateur polo player Marc Ganzi has been featured as the one to watch. The first occasion followed his Audi team winning the US Open Championship in 2009. This time, we acknowledge his role in the 2013 revival of the Westchester Cup series between the USA and England, the world’s oldest and most famous international. The International Committee of the US Polo Association (USPA) authorised Ganzi to put together the USA team, which he helped fund and played on himself. The 26-goal USA team took 28-goal Audi England into extra time before losing 12-11. At home in Wellington, Florida, Ganzi and his polo-playing wife Melissa own the prominent Grand Champions Polo Club, which is classed by the USPA as a high-goal facility. In business, Ganzi founded Boca Raton-based Global Tower Partners, a mobile-phone mast company, and was its CEO until the group was sold for $3.3bn this September. Herbert Spencer
