Congrats to SVB. He saved his best pool of the week for Sunday and was much the best in capturing the title.

Have to say that I was very impressed with the play of Tyler Styer this week, too. with a tied for fifth finish, he greatly enhanced his Mosconi chances.

Do you prefer the final day layout of this year's event (presuming you are familiar with the bleacher layout from last year)? On video feels like last year's bleacher layout provided better overall atmosphere. I could be totally wrong about that. Just curious. Cheers!

I am with you that the bleacher layout was better. Still, crowd size was very small for a WNT Sunday, so not sure it would have mattered.

I checked some other travel options, and for me the best is to fly to San Diego and drive. It's a slightly shorter drive (2.5 hours) than from Phoenix. The total airfare and car looks to be $500. The car rental duration assumes I will not be playing in the finals.

Isn't Tucson closer?

The tournament is actually in California, but barely. Tucson is an hour longer drive than from San Diego.

Sorry about that. You are correct, on the California border. Visit nearby Lake Havasu City/Laughlin if you can. You'll like it. Gary Benson and I did a tournament in a Laughlin casino eons ago. Highway 8 from San Diego across California is a good four lane highway all the way to Yuma, and never much traffic.
