this is just a hunch I have but I feel like this year Rodney Morris is going to win his second U.S. Open. I am basing this off of nothing except the fact the Rodney is a beast and always comes out of nowhere to snap off a good tourney or 2 every year. Not trying to bet on it or anything I would just like to see an American champ this year and I feel like Rodney is going to play beast. Anyone else got a prediction of their own?? please share.
I got a feeling about this years U.S Open
- Thread starter RobDeBank
- Start date
will you give me the rest of the field?
Well I think you can pretty much just count SVB out this year, he has something else on the mind besides pool since like April or May.
Ya,like maybe the passing of a dear friend and confidant.
Yeah, it's been twenty years since Tommy Kennedy won the U.S. Open. I feel like this might be the year that he surprises everyone again.

I have a feeling that Earl the pearl will snap this one , a 6th time US Open is big, and he's playing great right now....
the only thing that can beat him, is himself, lets hope he comes into this one with a state of mind that he play with when he wins a big tournament. remember his state of mind on the 2000's US Open when he won it in the finals against the japanese player? You never see his reaction, he didn't talk or get angry, when he's in this type of deamenar, he can win it.

There's alway one.
While I am certainly not Earl's biggest fan (I think his antics are ridiculous), I would *LOVE* to see him win again. His 9 ball game at its best is the best I've ever seen. I know he loves pool so much, and he clearly is reaching the twilight of his competitive pro career. It would be a pretty great win for him, and I think given the whole of his pool life, he deserves it. It seems he's really been doing well lately. Hopefully that is true off the table as well.

I could easily win this year's open with a house cue and a slip-on tip.
But I have to baby sit, so...
I don't care who wins, I just love reading about the event and can't wait for it to start!
Well, it's going to be my first year attending. So, whatever happens will be special. For a sentimental favorite, it would have to be Earl. He'll need to focus and modulate his emotions, however. He certainly still has the game.
I would like to see an American player win it; however, a 3-peat from Appleton would be special.
Hope to meet some AZ'ers there!

daz for the 3 peat. seems to be winning all the majors lately.
Rodney, Earl or SVB for the win!!
Jack Hynes in 2nd..!
(and no, I haven't seen or heard anything of Jack in years, but it'd be neat to have some lesser known world beater like him show up and snap it off!)
Wish I was going...I know any day attending a pool tourney is always better than a day at work!

This one will be really tough, many top pro players already beat or beaten by each other, i know for sure the only US player really hungry for the title and money is Brandon Shuff, i expect him to be in the finals, with Dennis Orcollo. Yet again with winner's breaking it could have many turns, Alex P. is hungry too he might get up there. Darren A, and the Ice man got lots of willpower, maybe.
SVB, Rodney, Earl, Efren and few top pros, all are history their ego got crushed and cannot be restored.
