That and the fact Billy seems to snap off everything he plays in lately makes me think it had to be him if he was in the finals.
3000 bucks for first and only 23 players...kind of sad but its a long drive from the Bay Area.

I'm surprised at the low turnout as well. I used to live and play in Eureka. There is a wealthy construction company owner who usually puts up several thousand to add to the prize fund. He plays decent, but he just likes to see good players come to the event. It used to be an annual 14.1 tournament; but whatever it was, they'd draw players from all over: Oregon, WA, east CA, central CA, even Nevada. Perhaps this recent one wasn't well publicized. Eureka is a perfect place to play. There are always cool temperatures. But it's not an easy drive to get there-- from almost anywhere!bud green said:3000 bucks for first and only 23 players...kind of sad but its a long drive from the Bay Area.
