Oddly enough with these scores, none of these guys are monsters. Bob's comment about any of the top sixteen can win makes my point. These guys are the field now. When you have a monster player, once in awhile he has something to take him off his stride and somebody else sneaks in. When you have sixteen guys or more that can win you can forget winning by a fluke, you are gonna have to earn it.
As great as these guys shoot there isn't a Willie Mosconi or Efren among them. If there was he would lead the field by a significant number and win far more than any indication he should. While the raw numbers might not indicate it, Efren's run through the Derby City one pocket fields remains one of the most amazing runs in sports. Considering that you have to beat a huge field in your bracket, then get past the luck of the draw to even get to play in the finals, it is amazing!
Opinion of course but we don't have sixteen or twenty or more Efren's out there, we don't have even one. This parity is great in many respects but somewhere out there is another true monster, maybe just picking up a cue for the first time. He will dominate even these tough fields.
