Like Putnam, Hatch is fun to watch... he's got an engaging personality.... last night he ran over to his g/f before a shot, gave her a kiss, got down on the ball and said to her "baby if I make it, I win. If I miss it, I lose". (in his match with Corey, which he won)
LOL, on Corey's next shot Frank the tournament director walked over and puckered his lips asking if he needed a kiss before he shot his next ball.
Anyone thats seen Ralf shoot (esp at the DCC finals this yr) knows you can't let him to the table with bih and in the rare cases that Ralf makes a mistake & lets you up to the table, you have to capitalize on it.
Putnam didn't capitalize on the mistakes and Hatch has let Ralf get to the table with bih... it went from 4-0 to 4-3 in a short period of time.
