As far as we know, Tennessee’s Robbie Langford came to Knoxville this past weekend (Dec. 9-10) having recorded (with us) only seven cashes finishes, spread out over almost 20 years. He showed up on the AZB Money Leaderboard for the first time in 2004. And last year, his best recorded earnings year to date, he finished in the money twice; 9th at a Big Boi Classic in Knoxville and runner-up to Billy Thorpe in the 7th Annual Buffalo’s Pro Classic, One-Ball/One Pocket Mini in Louisiana. One more notable entry in his cash-finish resume was earned at a Big Orange Classic (VI) in Knoxville in 2007 at which he finished in a tie for 5th, just behind, in order, Nick Varner, Shannon Daulton, Gabe Owen and Landon Shuffett.
So, been around a while, doesn’t appear to compete in cash-yielding events on what might be considered a regular basis and yet, over 20 years, he’s managed to show up and at least keep pace among some of the sport’s larger personalities. That spread-out-over-two-decades experience likely contributed to his first recorded event win at the weekend stop on the PremierBilliards.com’s Q City 9-Ball Tour.
Langford grabbed the event title by coming from the loss side, where he won five in a row and then double-dipped the hot seat occupant, Danny Demetro. Langford played three more matches than anyone else (10) at the $500-added event that drew 36 entrants to the Big Orange Social in Knoxville, TN.
