US OPEN: darkhorse picks
- Thread starter Eric.
- Start date
I'm gonna go SUPER DUPER darkhorse: BJ Ussery. Beat Shaun Wilkie like a drum 11-4 & a win against Chris Melling today would give him a lot of momentum to carry into a matchup against Lo Li-Wen.
I'm with you Brian!
Cometh the hour - cometh the man.
I think young Mr Shuff has donned his armour and will joust his way to this title.
It will do me a lot of good if he does and Ralf can come back the hard way.
Anyone from NC knows BJ is a beast and an intimidating presence on the table. I like him to do well this tourney.
Sorry but Ralf Souquet in a race to 11 with Shuff is a hair too tough, expect him in the losers bracket. Yes, before you bark I will bet on that.

I saw that too...a bit unexpectedly lopsided!
But also in the unexpected file: the last 2 times BJ and I played the scores were 9-1 and 9-0 and we each won once!
How about Sigel at 57 winning this thing? That's my dark horse.
I'm rooting for Nigel Francis... because he's a friend and would be the ultimate dark horse. It's his first US Open and I bet none of you have even heard of him before lol.
Fuiji sponsored!
Oh, you're talking about the player sponsored by FUIJI..........
Imagine the interest Fuiji might develop in pool if Brandon does win it!

How much will you bet?
I heard of him while he was here, playing in some Eurotour stops
I believe you are confustigated. Like I.
Valid point. We americans probably see less of the giant kill-able Asians than any other pool playing region in the world.
Being I pull for USA first, I'm gonnna try and buddy up to Lo and overserve some saki to him!
Good idea but Saki is served in Japan But Lo Wen is Chinese. You might need to figure out the right drink before you decide to execute your plan.
I like Beau Reaunigan and jesse Engle. true blue dark horses.............but capable.......

Simple, the winner will be Mike Dechaine. U.S.A, U.S.A. :happydance:

You win one drink of choice (under $20)! He's been training a good bit for this... at least trying to fit training in between school and work
I forgot he had played some events over there.
Sorry, but Lo Li-Wen is indeed from Taiwan. (Not to be confused with, say, Li Hewen who is Chinese.)
These are my picks also.
I'm normally pretty good at spelling. I don't know where the Fuiji came from. Thanks,
