will Taiwan dominate in WPC?

I think we tend to overlook the homefield advantage thing in pool. I believe more Taiwanese qualified for the WPC in 2004, but certainly they had a better showing than in Cardiff the year before. Not to knock Chao, Yang, etc. because they definitely play jam up!

Remember only two non-Americans have won the US Open. While the field is mostly Americans, Busta, Immonen, Luat, etc. have never won it and even Efren lost three years in a row in the finals I think.

Efren won the 1994 Edition of the US Open, then he was runner-up the next 3 years in a row.

22nd US Open - 1997 Earl Strickland – Efren Reyes
21st US Open - 1996 Rodney Morris – Efren Reyes
20th US Open - 1995 Reed Pierce – Efren Reyes
19th US Open - 1994 Efren Reyes – Nick Varner
 
looking back, can't believe how many of us got it totally wrong! no one in the last 16 was on anyone's list of winners, except for probably morris.
