Turning Stone Classic begins in 4 days! Let's hear the predictions. Who's in your final four?
Could Kevin Cheng re-visit his 2015 U.S.Open dominance? Ko brothers in the finals against each other? Jayson Shaw coming with the 4-peat? Or maybe a Dechaine or Mika returning to the champion plaque?

Also, which AZ'ers will be attending in person? I'll be there on and off for all four days. I have a big feeling Saturday night's 8 & 10 PM rounds will be out-of-this-world action.

It's gonna be one of the top guys. Always a great event.

Prediction /guess......Shaw comes out like the boss and runs the field undefeated for the 4peat.
 
Mika, Mike D, Ko, Shaw........final 4. I think Mika is overdue for a win. Johnnyt
 
I think a lot depends on the draw but I don't think Mika will make final 8. Don't count out the Canadians. Grenier, Hewitt, and Daigle all play good.

Ko, Shaw, Grenier, and Hatch are my final four but again, a lot depends on draw.
 
JULIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Casanzio....he's too old, he's been a working stiff all his life....
....and he can do it.
 
I think this venue sets up much more like a WPA event so I'm rolling with both KOs , Rodney and MD , if the KOs meet early Shaw
Big Ko for the win

Anyone know if the Ko bros have been here since the Open, or did they go back home for a bit?

These are good picks. Mika has been in the hunt late Sundays for the last few but always runs into a freight train. Maybe this year is different? Of course, it all depends on the draw, and a big-time upset early can work as a blessing and send a player on a successful path through the one loss side like Dechaine did in the last event.

I'm going veteran dark horse

Archer (making a run this year for Mosconi cup team)
Dechaine
Shaw
Big Ko

Coming up behind:

Rodney Morris
Little Ko

I didn't expect them to still be here and delighted to see them In the turning Stone lineup. Im guessing they are staying on a sports visa right through derby??

If they were here since the open, I wish they had big Ko in the make it happen 10 ball event. Selfishly, I just want to see more of Shane vs Big Ko. Those just need to happen as much as possible.
