I would like Cory to win for no other reason then this sport needs a young American Tiger Woods style of player to take off and become hugely popular. The Americans are not going to embrace anyone but their own and this sports future in becoming a true internationally recognized sport is not going to happen without America. Cory winning is the best thing that could happen for pool.
{edit} and of course I would love to see Alain Martel win but being a realist I would be flabbergasted if he actually came out on top.
