U.S. OPEN 2026, Frisco, Texas, August 25-30

If current scores hold, do we get Shaw/Manas or Thorpe/Woodward on the TV table?

hopefully shaw v manas, but the latter is more likely given it's the US open..

yea, even if tyler beats manas it would be a more relevant match

Table 4 Styer was down to AJ 5-1 then 7-2 but he’s clawed back to 9-6, (AJ hill). He snapped the 9 to go 9-5.

Shooting with confidence.

Styer hooked AJ. AJ rattled the 1 on a jump.

9-7 AJ. Styer making it interesting.

 

[datnodude]

9-8, ok Tyler enough

 

[dquarasr]

Styer BnR. Now 9-8 AJ. Nail-biter.

Horse racing is much like pool. You can have two horses that race in the same time. One’s a 50K claimer the other a stakes rated horse and when they get into the stretch head to head the higher end horse prevails. Eye to eye the better horse has the class and the other knows it.

Based on the arena cam looks like there's a pretty solid crowd there today.

AJ Manas is a bottler.

 

[datnodude]

Someone compared AJ to Centeno and it's very accurate. What's position when you can make every shot on the table. To their detriment at times

AJ taking a break trying to ice Styer.

Styer safe’d the 1. AJ escaped but left an open shot. Styer missed a sharp cut but got lucky and partially hid the 1. Then they traded safes.

Styer scratched trying to escape the safe on the 1. AJ missed the 5!

HILL-HILL!!

 

[jbart65]

Down 9-8, Tyler scratched trying to safe the 1 ball. Totally avoidable and a bad decision.

Luckily for him, AJ badly missed an easy 5 ball to the top right corner. Tyler ran out to make it 9-9.

 

[datnodude]

Oh AJ this hurts me man

HILL-HILL!!

Styer breaks sinks the 1 but has tough long 2. Drills it. Has to break up the 4-5. Nails it.

And he’s out! Styer wins 10-9!

Hell of a comeback by Tyler Styer to beat AJ Manas.

Loving the WNT subscription I bought today.....anybody on the fence on buying it, should.

 

[skogstokig]

well done tyler. very impressive

 

[jbart65]

Oh AJ this hurts me man

Shades of his recent loss to FSR in Florida. Manas needs take a little more care like Januarta. All that talent, but it's not enough.

 

[sudocrushms]

Oof AJ. Good on Tyler though sticking with it and grinding out a huge comeback.

 

[Kris_b1104]

Man, Styer is on a mission to prove everyone wrong.
I think I will stop making fun of him now for his MC blunder.

The dude doesn't give up. Hell of a performance.
I guess hard work does beat natural talent.

 

[CanadianGuy]

honestly I think AJ just still in 'fun' mode, some of his shots are damn near exhibition level

at some point he will decide he wants to shift into the gear required to win events like this, no rush required

Still time to mature but the talent is definitely there. He's under 20!
