Posted by admin on 2007/11/1 22:42:12 (11 reads)
RODNEY Morris and Marcus Chamat will spearhead the international team in the Kabayan World 9-Ball Challenge: Philippines vs. Rest of the World on Nov. 12-13 at the Filipiniana Hotel in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.
Morris, a multi-titled player, and Chamat are two of the fancied players in the World Pool Championship, which opens today at the Araneta Coliseum.
"Any five Filipino professional cue artists are hard to beat," said Morris, a former US Open and World Pool League champion. "But nobody's unbeatable in this game."
Chamat, married to a Filipina, is a veteran of several team competitions being a mainstay of Team Europe in the Mosconi Cup.
He won the World Summit of Pool in 2005, a year after stopping the marvelous run of Marlon Manalo in the quarterfinals of the World Pool Championship in Taipei, Taiwan.
They will meet again in Calapan City.
Manalo will be the chief mate of reigning world champion Ronnie Alcano in the Team Philippines, which also includes 2006 Asian Games gold medalist Antonio Gabica, 1998 Asian Games gold medalist Gandy Valle and Manny Pacquiao International 9-Ball Open winner Jeffrey De Luna.
The other players in the international team are Darren Appleton of England, Karl Boyes of the United Kingdom and John Higgins of Scotland.
