Precision Sports

Clementi Cecil Delgado (1930 to 1997), better known as Saco Delgado, was a Hong Kong international lawn and indoor bowler. Born in Hong Kong to Portuguese parents, he worked as an accountant and later a banking official and began bowling in 1958. He won the Hong Kong lawn bowls championship ten times before taking the rinks, or fours, gold medal at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. At the 1972 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Worthing he won the pairs gold with Eric Liddell, along with a bronze in the fours, and in 1978 the same pairing won the men's pairs gold again at the Commonwealth Games. He became a United States citizen in 1984.
