A few years ago I played Bryce in the quarterfinals of a big regional tournament in my neck of the woods. It was a USPPA event, and at the time he was the highest rated player, he was like 168 or something like that. When I saw the sheet, I was like OH CRAP!!! Anyways, he had to spot me 4 games to 8, and he won the first 4 games after I missed the first shot, by running a 2 pack, then I missed another shot, he ran out, and then broke and ran another rack. After that it was tied at 4-4, and I seemed to catch a gear out of nowhere, and I started running out alot. I ended up winning the next 4 games, and in the very last game, I broke and ran down to a 6-9 combo. The 9ball was hanging in the jaws and I had a tough cut to it on the 6. When I sank the combo, he politely shook my hand and said "good shooting". I found that very strange, because before I played him, people told me to watch out for his antics, etc. I guess he had changed his ways by then. He was totally cool about it, even though he came down all the way from up north and lost in the quarterfinals.
I like his game alot. He uses a very short and compact bridge, and rock solid fundamentals. No bad habits, he just pockets balls with ease and doesn't get angry if he makes mistakes. I hope he is still playing pool, he could be a top top player if he keeps on playing.
