I just want to confirm that this is 100% *untrue*, as Rodney was with me the entire night. He went to bed early and sober, and was well rested and in good form come the final day of the event.
Which of course, surely factored into his 33 minute 9-1 destruction of Hatch. Rodney played a terrific event, but was outclassed by Archer's safety play in the finals. Congrats to both players, as well as to Hatch for an impressive run.
Gotta love the facts...greenie time!
