GlobalPort came through with remarkable runs in the elite series - considered the Olympics of Polo - with team owner Romero earning 110 WPT points to crack the ranking and even become Southeast Asia's top amateur polo player, galloping past Thailand's Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Brunei's Mateen Bolkiah.
