Rufino Merlos

Rufino Merlos pairs with Jesse Bray as the professional core of La Dolfina/Scone. At 6 goals, Merlos complements Bray's 7-goal rating — a 7-and-6 duo that gives the team solid offensive capability under the La Dolfina banner.

At La Dolfina/Scone, Merlos plays alongside patrons Bruce Gottwald, David Paradice, and Max Torokvei. The professional pairing carries the scoring responsibility, and Merlos is expected to be a reliable contributor across every chukker — the type of 6-goal player who keeps the scoreboard ticking while his higher-rated partner creates the highlight plays.

Representing La Dolfina at the U.S. Open means representing Adolfo Cambiaso's legacy. The jersey carries expectations.
