A women could win the U.S Open! A long shot definitely but certainly not impossible. It's more like 100-1 if all the top women were to play.
I agreed actuall with you both here. the odds of an Allixon winning something as the US Open could very well be a million to one. But Jay's assesment of 100-1 are probably more accurate and realistic.
As i thought of this though I am reminded of 2 incidents over the years. Back in the early 70"s Kieth thonson of Houston wonthe 9 Ball in Johnson City! Qt the start of the tournament he would have been at least 100-1 odds and most wondered why he was iven there.
About the same periiod Andy Obuin of La Mesa Texas won the 9 Ball at the topicana in Vergas and again most wondered why he was there. ANother 100-1.
At the same time I was just wondering if Allison could beat either of these guys???? Well, I see it as 6-5 pick=em match and would have to have bet on Andy and Kieith.
i guess what I am saying is , yes, let them play. It is highly unlikely a female wins the US open, but it was Highly unlike that Kieth or Anday won, but hings happen in pool and sometimes the bals allow funny things to happen!! if it happens for a women from time to time maybe it will loosen things up a bit and we will continiue to fill events. After all, ti isn't really the 96 who cashe that make a good event, it is the remainder of the field!!
