那是Morra
天二把競爭為可貴的遊覽等第點的12個打彈子者帶回與在每個加拿大9球遊覽事件伴隨這些點的$10,000增加的賞金一起。
星期天第一翻倒來了與Luc鞠躬對Jarrod溫尼培Spence的Salvas由比分9-7。 與鎖墊鐵在早行動的二,在這次比賽結束了前後,更加脾氣隨和的球員在天二,微笑是豐富的。 當去年的冠軍, Edwin Montal從卡爾加里,做了過早的出口由於多倫多的傑夫白色的作用由同一9-7分數欄,下驚奇來了。
當一個罰球被視為由Montal,演奏了一些爭論在這次比賽出現了。 沒有在手邊爭執這個決定的官員,即使Montal主張他很好播放好射擊,在比賽比分被張貼了之後。 亞當・史密斯從底特律在他的第一個加拿大9球遊覽事件駕駛七個小時競爭,并且他沒有将被否認,當他巡航到一次舒適的9-4勝利結束Alain Lessard。 保持他的奔跑活的小組的第四名成員是老練的約翰Jorgensen從多倫多。 他結束了Mississauga的安德魯Attard遊戲努力與一本最後的帳簿9-6。
下次行動看見四個未搗碎的球員佔去他們的暗示加入四個B邊優勝者從尚早的行動。 約翰Morra在種族發現了Sudbury』路易斯Fazekas以雄偉星期天形式作為Fazekas跳躍對早期的5-2領先到9。 當他由一個驚奇的9-2比分,屈服了Morra沒明顯地有回復為Fazekas』射擊做和作戰顯示。
蒙特利爾的用左手的全國8球冠軍, Francis Crevier,也看起來準備充分和銳利,他在他的椅子停放了Shannon Ducharme為許多早進來在他們的比賽。 The fighting qualities that Ducharme had displayed in his earlier wins started to come to the fore as he played his way back into contention from the early 6-0 deficit. In the end, though, the smooth-stroking Crevier was just too strong and the six-rack lead that he had built up helped him ease into the A-side finals, posting a 9-6 win over Ducharme. Crevier could now focus on his hot seat match against Fazekas and a chance to secure his first tour win in his first tour appearance.
The two matches from the left-hand side of the draw pitted Jeff White against Adam Smith and John Jorgensen against Jarrod Spence. Smith’s confidence was evident, as he had announced prior to this event that he was going to commit full time to playing pool as a career. His decision looked a well-thought-out one if his match against White was any indication as he quickly jumped into a fast 5-1 lead. The experience and natural ability of White has always been one of his trademarks, and before long the match started to swing into White’s favor. Once he caught Smith at 7-7, it appeared that Smith had lost the will and the way as 10 minutes later the match was finished and White would advance by a final score of 9-7.
In stark contradiction to the White versus Smith match, the Jorgensen versus Spence encounter was a one-sided affair with the younger Spence storming out to an early lead that Jorgensen could not overhaul. When the smoke cleared, Jorgensen could only applaud his opponent’s performance as he was sent packing by a score of 9-2. These results meant that John Morra would now face fellow Torontonian Jeff White, with the other match bringing about an all Winnipeg affair that saw Shannon Ducharme facing off against his pal, Jarrod Spence. Francis Crevier and Louis Fazekas could relax and have lunch while they prepared for the A-side finals.
On the face, the Morra/White match looked to be a terrific clash that was going to be a tough call either way. Unfortunately for White, this expectation did not materialize as young gun Morra blasted his way to an early lead that he never relinquished. A missed 2-9 combination from White meant all that was left was the handshake, as Morra moved on a convincing 9-3 winner. The other match followed the same vein with Jarrod Spence failing to get out of the starting blocks with any momentum as the hard-breaking Shannon Ducharme stamped his superiority on this match early. After suffering a defeat against Crevier in his previous match, Ducharme was in no mood for an instant replay as he dismissed his league teammate with a 9-2 drubbing.
Four now remained as Francis Crevier opposed Louis Fazekas for the hot seat and the inside track at the $5000 winner’s purse.
The John Morra versus Shannon Ducharme match captivated the crowd as both players adopted an aggressive style and attacked at every opportunity. A few unforced errors from Ducharme provided the initiative for Morra to seize early control and a 5-1 lead. At this point Ducharme found another gear and fired back at Morra to level the score at 7-7. An untimely scratch in rack 15 by Ducharme gave the 18-year-old Morra the opening that he needed to secure that rack and the next for a gritty 9-7 win. Shannon Ducharme had enjoyed his best finish to date and was a very worthy fourth place finisher in a star-studded field. In the hot seat match Louis Fazekas’ confident style of play seemed to be unnerving Francis Crevier as he established a quick 3-1 edge.
Crevier did not seem comfortable with the table in this match as he lost the cue ball on numerous occasions, and each one proved costly to the talented French Canadian. Even though Crevier came back at Fazekas, the flow that had seen him through to this stage had noticeably deserted him. To make matters worse, Fazekas was playing some of his best pool to date and, after competing in the first two tour events, was eager to make a statement in event number three. Holding his nerve and showing all the class of a seasoned campaigner, Fazekas seized the moment and ran out a 9-5 winner to sit back and wait for the John Morra and Francis Crevier winner to play for the title in Ottawa.
Coming into an event as a prohibitive favorite is never easy and accepting the pressure that accompanies that pedestal is what nurtures champions. The top-seeded John Morra knew he would face a daunting task against Francis Crevier in the one-loss bracket finals. The early going gave no indication as to a clear-cut winner, with the first six racks being split and Morra holding the break in rack seven. The back and forth volley continued with neither player gaining any momentum and able to put distance between them.
A poor positional shot from Crevier in rack number ten presented Morra with the first big chance to go clear, and it proved to be the chance that he had been waiting for. A break and run-out in rack eleven gave Morra a 7-4 lead and applied the pressure on Crevier to respond. The reply from Crevier came and went without much in the way of impact. He had a glorious chance to be breaking at 7-6 down and instead found himself on the wrong end of 8-5 with Morra breaking for the match. Crevier would not get out of his chair again in the match apart from the customary handshake to wish Morra the best in the finals against Louis Fazekas.
The finals was contested over a race to eleven racks. The chance had arrived for John Morra to avenge his loss to Louis Fazekas in the A-side semifinals, and it was a chance he was hoping to take full advantage of. Fazekas on the other hand, had other ideas and was in no mood to surrender his unbeaten crown this weekend. The start was tentative as one would expect, but Morra exuding the swagger of a former tour winner jumped out to a 4-2 advantage. Nothing spectacular from either player to this point, but one got the feeling that the fireworks could come at anytime.
Unfortunately for Fazekas it was Morra that found the trigger and started filling the pockets as he would do on a practice table. Fazekas was left to look on and await a mistake from Morra. The mistake finally arrived but not before Morra had built up a comfortable 10-3 lead. Fazekas knew he had no more room for errors as he desperately needed to claw his way back into the match. With a short stint as a snooker professional, Fazekas also knew that patience and taking small steps would be the key if he was to have any chance to play himself back into contention in the final.
Winning rack 14 was the only consolation Fazekas would enjoy as Morra simply proved too strong in the rematch. A second place finish for Fazekas at the hands of the top seed and a runner’s-up check for $3,000 made it a decent weekend’s work. If nothing else, it established that Fazekas had elevated his game to the next level, even though young Morra once again provided evidence that he may be the best player in the country at the tender age of 18.The final score read 11-4 to John Morra but the fans of pool in Ottawa may have received the big prize as they witnessed some of the best pool in many years.
