[Joe T]

I sweat it and wish I had sweat it harder because it was some very very strong 1 hole, patient, smart and the arm was doing what the mind wanted Congrats & Well done!

He is 25. He just started playing again very recently and used to play at a very high level a few years ago. See his TAR matches against John Morra and Oscar. He was the best in and around St.Louis when he was a teenager. We are so excited for him to come back. All of the pool community here has been blowing up over his big win.

This!

He learned that "Chicago Squeeze" from a lot of the old school guys that ran the halls he grew up in. Larry The Barber, Chrystler Joe, come to mind - watching him play Corey, reminded me of watching Larry give any young king that wanted some 20-8, because the kid thought they had the nuts and Larry just laughed and waited.

I have watched lots of players over the years and if Justin plays with the big boys day in and day out he will come out on the winning side.

I for one am looking forward to seeing him play again. It's refreshing to see some new names in the headlines!

I met Justin when he was about 12 years old at a Junior National event in the Quad Cities. He was a little short fella who shot side arm. He was a fierce competitor and DID NOT like to lose!

Congrats to him on his win.
