SEBASTIAN MERLOS Sebastian Merlos is one of the few elite polo players in the world to achieve the coveted 10-goal ranking. Currently playing as a 9-goaler, he has captured the titles of every major tournament in more than 18 countries. He counts three U.S. Opens at the International Polo Club Palm Beach among his successes, as well as victories at the British Open and the Argentine Open. Merlos has a fierce passion for horses, making him one of the strongest horsemen playing polo today. Merlos played for Travieso in 2017, making it all the way to the semifinals of the U.S. Open with teammates Teo Calle, Mariano Gonzalez and Alfredo Capella before falling to eventual champion Valiente. He will be back in action on Travieso for the 20-goal season at IPC. wellington the the magazine magazine || january january 2018 2018 wellington
