12 men left standing at the Open on Friday morning

My original pick to win was JL Chang, but I suspect that I'll prove mistaken. To me, it looks like Jayson Shaw's year to win the title.

I think Jayson will end up in the final against one of Ko Ping Chung, JL Chang or Josh Filler, but everyone on the loser side has a very tough road. My dark horse is Jin Hu Dang.

It has been a superb US Open to this point. I'm still buzzing over Sanchez-Ruiz making that long jump combo at 9-9 in the match against Naoyuki Oi. That was one of the better clutch shots I've ever seen.

And this Japanese player has brought levity and joy to the pool world with his interviews. I'm always tuning in when he's playing. He's a hoot! Not to mention, he's a strong, strong player and can get there! If he wins, can you imagine the interviews spreading across the world? The pool world needs him!

Thanx for all the pics, Jen
The winner’s side satisfies the “Don’t trust anybody over 30” crowd.

I’m cheering for the guy who put Alex to the B-side with a 5-pack..I love this guy.
Oi

And here is J.H. Dang playing Shane in a hill-hill match in Kuwait in 2016. He will be a force to be reckoned with and will be fighting to the end.

He looks so sweet in this photo, but I'll bet his opponents don't think so when they're up against him.
