Chang scratches on the break.

Ball in hand for Chang.

Too many missed opportunities for Skyler. If he had played well he would have won this match, despite being down 8-0.

Pretty sure he won't be too upset. 3rd in this field is strong.

Great showing by the U.S. players. Too bad Skyler couldn't take advantage of more of the opportunities he had against Chang. That match was worth at least $10K.

Great event for Skyler. Well played!

Should be a hell of final between Ko and Chang. Impressive for Taiwan to claim gold and silver here.

Can't seem to find that prize money breakdown anywhere. That's not a good sign. It must be disappointing compared to what was originally promised. With 112 players, there is $16,000 less in the purse. That much is certain.

Stands are packed for the finals! Oops no, maybe 20 people there.

What were payouts supposed to be? I just heard them say 40k for 1st 20k for 2nd and 10k for 3rd....i thought thats on par with old payouts.
