has any of the pros won the open in vegas before they were pros
- Thread starter tyre74
- Start date
Jeremy Jones
What year was that? I don't recall Jones ever winning that event, I do remember him coming in second, he lost to George Sansouci in the finals in 1999.

Jeremy won the 1998 US Open One Pocket. Do not know if it was in Vegas or if Jeremy was considered a pro at the time.
Jeremy finished 2nd in the open division in 1993.
He won the Masters division in 1994.
Ronnie Wiseman won the open division in 1994, he would be about the best answer to the OP.
Strangely, sometime in the past the entrance rules of the tournament must have changed, Because, in the late 70's and early 80's you see winners like Danny D, Varner and Reid. Long after they were established pros.

ETA Unless the OP is talking about the BCA Open, if so, disregard this post.
