Who Will Win this Year's U.S. Open?

[RunoutJJ]

What are the time slots? At TS its every two hours (12-2pm-4pm). What time do they resume play and is it 2 or 3 hours between matches?

i missed bustamante. He should definitely be on the list.

If you vote "other" tell us who your write-in vote is for.

fair deal donnie mills for a longshot .... Gotta go with a florida player...... But orcullo is probably the favorite right now

I find it hard to believe that Warren Kiamico wasn't listed as a potential winner in the poll. I've only seen one person mention him snapping this off. I've only seen the guy miss maybe 4 balls in 3 streamed sets!! I know he really botched that last game against Earl in the Ginky tournament but that was lazy shot that should never happen to even a top flight amauter. My money is on Warren right now even though I would like to see Shuff take it down.

Shane looks hungry, happy, and healthy. Lethal combination for the field. He took second at JA's event. Won the Championship event. LOOK OUT BOYS, The South Dakota Kid is on the prowell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


At least that's what I'm rooting for!


best,

Justin

I do too. What the hell was that guy thinking?!

I voted for Alex.....
...but I predict SVB is gonna go crazy this Open.
He's had some losses lately, and he doesn't like it.

The most potentially dominant player in the whole event is Jung Lin Chang. If he hits hit top gear he is the favorite to win the whole event. He has been extremely dominant in Asia against the best from both the Philipines and Taiwan for years now winning a huge number of tournaments. He is also the current world 8-ball champ.

It is amazing almost noone on this board even notices him in the draw.

Because many people on this board haven't heard of him or pay attention to him. I hope he can bring his A game, but this is probably his first time in America or one of the few times he's been here.

Ahahaha :lol:

Yes, it's a sentimental pick, but I like Archer. I think he's got at least one more Open title in him, and he's been playing real well over the last year or so. I think this is as good a time as any.

171 voters....the rest of you have less than an hour.....
...with some info that the early voters didn't have....

Chang is probably the best bet. The guy plays perfect.

Shuff has really developed into a top flight player. He's been pretty hot lately. I'd like to see him win it all which isn't the same thing as predicting he will, but I'll be rooting for him.

 

[LA toolman]

Bump ......!!!!

 

[gopi-1]

For historical reasons, I want it to be Darren. For sentimental reasons, it should be Efren, but I voted for the guy who's on fire right now, twice a bridesmaid, but never a bride, Ronnie Alcano...

Let's see what happens...

 

[pt109]

C'mon Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Alex can take this thing down, it will make billiard history, I think.
Nooooobody has won the US Open with a sneaky pete.

..although a couple ugly cues have...
