Randy Haag and Alex Franklin are the AGC Tournament Series Players of the Year. Mark Miller and Scott Carelli also earned honors
The end of the 2012 amateurgolf.com
Tournament Series season means it's time
to
congratulate the Players of the
Year.
The amateurgolf.com Tournament Series hosted 12 events throughout California and traveled to Bandon, Ore. for the annual amateurgolf.com Bandon Dunes Two-Man Links Championship.
The tournament series began in January with the New Year's Skins Game at Aviara and wrapped up this past weekend with the 2012 Tour Championship held at Hiddenbrooke Golf Club. And, as always, there was stellar play throughout the year.
No one played better than co-Players of the Year Randy Haag (pictured, left) and Alex Franklin. The two combined for four victories in 2012 and represent the amateurgolf.com Tournament Series well. Mark Miller earned Player of the Year honors among Seniors while Scott Carelli edged Bart Goldie for Net Player of the Year.
As we close the book on 2012 and look forward to another strong year of tournament golf in 2013, let's look at the accomplishments of the Players of the Year:

season in

a

award. Haag won the 2012 Diablo Valley
Amateur and placed second at the
California Mid-
Am Master and Senior. He was also active
on
the national and international levels of
mid-
am and senior golf. Haag won the Scratch
players Mid-Am and tied for third at the
Stocker
Cup and placed 69th at the British Senior

Alex Franklin, Co- Player of the Year: Franklin, of San Rafael, Calif., became the first amateurgolf.com Tournament Series player to as much as share a piece of the award Haag has held since its inception.

stellar
play on the amateurgolf.com Tournament

Mark Miller, Senior Player of the Year: Miller, of Antioch, Calif., had a terrific showing at several amateurgolf.com Tournament Series events and won his second straight and fourth overall Player of the Year award. Miller won twice, taking the Diablo Valley Amateur and the Monterey County Four- Ball. His second-place finish at the Silicon Valley Amateur and tie for third at the Wine Country Cup put him ahead of Dale Bougennec for the Senior's top honor.

the Year: Carelli, of San
Francisco, won
the net division at the Silicon Valley
Amateur
presented by CHAMP Spikes and was
tied for
