- Queen City resident assumes #2 role for his squad
Tommy Dugan, the reigning two-time TGA Tour Champion, is no stranger to the media limelight. After going wire-to-wire to capture the 2008 TGA Player of the Year Award, Dugan vaulted into the upper echelon of King Invitational players after being selected with the 6th overall pick of the 2009 K.I. draft.
To prove his mettle, all Dugan did was go out and win each of his matches, including a scintillating Match Play win on the second day of the King Invitational Cup, rallying from four holes down to defeat The Hunt Club captain, Wayne Hunt.
As an encore to his stellar February performance, Dugan rallied from an early season funk to capture his second straight TGA Tour Player of the Year Award, the first person to ever capture two tour titles.
So, as the current hottest commodity heading into the 2010 King Invitational, it's not surprising to hear Dugan's name mentioned as a possible trade target. The King's Court captain, Jackie King, confirms that he was approached in the off-season by The Hunt Club about trading Dugan.
"As I've said in the past, I'll do whatever I can to make my team stronger. But trading Tommy didn't meet those qualifications," King told reporters when asked about trade rumors involving Dugan.
As such, Dugan will return to The King's Court in 2010, this time as the #2 seed replacing his uncle, Ted Prestwood who will spend 2010 on the PUP (physically unable to play) list.
