Earl misses

[dogassokie]

I saw a video on bcn of a us open match between earl strickland and rodney morris. I'm really not sure what the year was. Anyway, strickland was down 6-4 and had the 7,8, and 9 to make the match 6-5 with the break. He was dead easy on the 7 with the 8 and 9 near hangers. But the shot on the seven was a stretch, with the cue ball lying about a little over one diamond up from the opposite end from strickland's stance. Long story short, he didn't use the bridge, didn't really even look at the shot because it was so easy, and missed the 7 entirely. The point is, is that when you miss a shot and let it affect the rest of your session, remember that a whole lot better player than you missed a whole lot easier shot than you missed for a whole lot bigger prize than you've ever played for.

I know what you're saying here but I don't look at the mistakes of others to excuse my own.
