His name has been popping up on payout lists a lot lately. It hasn’t exactly been like the proverbial ‘bolt out of the blue’ (a sudden lightning strike that comes out of a clear sky; sudden and unexpected). Germany’s Moritz Neuhausen popped up on AZBilliards’ radar for the first time in 2019, cashing with a 17th place finish at the Euro Tour’s Dynamic Billiards Veldhoven Open in the Netherlands. Two years later, he showed up in an American payout list for the first (recorded with us) time, finishing 65th at the US Open 9-Ball Tournament. Last year, he chalked up his best (recorded) earnings year, in which just shy of half (6 of 13) of his competitive winnings originated from US tournaments, including the Joss Tour, the American Straight Pool Championship, Pat Fleming’s International Open, and a second appearance at the US Open 9-Ball. He was also the winner of the 2022 Under-23 European 9-Ball Championship. This past weekend (Saturday, April 1), he walked away from an undefeated run on the Garden State Pool Tour that put him over halfway to making 2023 his best earnings year, and it’s only April. The $200-added event drew 32 entrants to Rockaway Billiards in Rockaway, NJ.
