When I first joined AzBilliards back in 2003, I already knew how strong the Filipino contingent was, led by Jose Parica and the so-called "Filipino Invasion." Funny thing is I used to write "Phillipino" or "Philippino" with a p-h until a kind AzB-er set me straight, and I never forgot it.

By the way, the proper title is "Philippines Open," with an s. Filipino refers to the people and culture, while Philippine describes things like the Philippine flag or Philippine government. So is "Philippine Open" wrong, as like the title of this thread? Well, yes and no. It depends on how you look at it, I guess. Matchroom went with "Philippines Open," with an s.

I mention the correct spellings of these words because I have a hunch that we pool fans will be posting a lot about the Philippines, the Philippine culture, and the Filipino pool champions quite often in the future.

Buddy was great for his time. But I think any of the top 20 players in the world today could have spotted him the 7 & 8 in 9 ball when he was in his prime, and easily beat him.
