40 years ago is too long ago for folks like me. Let us talk about more current active best players of these last 2 decades who have not won a major.
For this exercise, major is defined as only WPA/PBS/WNT 8B,9B,10B majors, includes World Games (poor man’s version of Olympics) , PBS Las Vegas Open (longest running leg of PBS tour). Excludes team events,All Japan, invitationals (like World Pool Masters, PLP, Big Foot 10B).

Conclusion:
The players with highest finishes in majors who have not won a major are:
Alex Kazakis (2nd W8B, 2nd W10B, 3rd W9B) and Kuo Po Cheng (2x runner up+ 1x semifinalist at W9B) followed by are Oi, Raga, He.

In snooker the fans and top players have been complaining they've been making the pockets too easy.

That one is pretty obvious. Even I noticed.

Thanks. I was looking at https://www.wntlivescores.com/events which had last 2 years events, but not this years.

Looks like 2 players I was rooting for (Mouritz and Elliot Sanderson) play each other in next round.

Yes, both are on to the Stage 2 single elimination round. If they both win in the round of 64, they will meet in the round of 32.

Interesting to see what everyone likes out of the group. They are all fantastic but #4 and #10 are my favorites. Great collection.

Has the tournament started yet? Thought it was a Matchroom event, but can't see any scores on their website?

Nice turnout. Great field. Looks like nearly all the players that played at the Predator St Louis event went on to this WNT ranking event at Super Billiards Expo in Pennsylvania. The majority of the US Mosconi hopefuls are there, too. This event, which was on a downturn no so long ago, has greatly benefited from its WNT affiliation and is now one of the very best events in the Northeast United States.

With $16,000 for first, $10,000 for second and $7,000 for third, this event offers a nice chance for a) Neuhausen to pad the Mosconi points lead he attained at the European Open, b) for other European hopefuls to begin making their Mosconi statements, and c) for American hopefuls to begin making their statements for Team USA consideration.

Good luck to all these fine players. I'm sure we'll have a very worthy champion come Sunday evening.
