Anyone know where the following pros were?

Leonardo Andam
Antonio Lining
Danny Basavich
Scott Frost
Kim Davenport
Jim Rempe
Santos Sambojon
 
Jim Rempe is retired, gone fishing.

Kim Davenport I have not seen much of since he got involved buying that pool room.
 
rempe is coming back he will be on the joss and blaze tour this year so ive been told at our room in scranton pa.
 
how about Mike Sigel.....wouldn't you take a free chance to swing the cue stick for a couple of sets?? especially if it's free? and to hear your name announced as a legend and the first US Open champion ever? and....i think he was there anyway promoting cues.
 
Andam and Lining probably did not find sponsorship to come. Andam has been out for a few years. His speed has gone down.
 
A couple of players I think could have finished pretty high are Darren Appleton (great player from England) and Ignacio Chavez (terrrific road player - wish I could have sponsored him, best 100 to 1 shot at the money I would ever have). I thought the field was terrific, and considering the cost involved in playing the open and the current pool economy, kind of amazing.
 
darren appleton wasn't there because he played a race to thirty money match with tommy donlon for eight grand. he won comfortably.

accdealer bring up an interesting name as well - another living legend. he's like earl though, struggling with the mental game. i think mike's battle scarred and is scared to enter. i mean this respectfully, he's scared he's not gonna finish high enough by his standards. in other words win! the IPT maybe kicked him while he was down as well.
 
oliver ortman is a 14.1 us open champ.....dennis hatch also never won the us open, i believe that he was defeated in the finals buy buddy hall.
