There was also a good deal of local talent on display, many of which were gaining momentum as the second day of the Canadian Tour was heating up.Īfter a couple of wins each, Smith and Hjorleifson met up on the draw sheet. The former champ took control of this match early and never relinquished the reins en route to a surprising 9-3 victory over the tenth-ranked player on the tour.Īdam Smith, Erik Hjorleifson, and Blake Martel all progressed with minimal resistance through round three and then into round four on the A side. An excellent match-up took place when Shannon Ducharme hooked up with former national champ Randy Pruden. When the smoke cleared it was a surprisingly easy 9-5 win for Beardy over Edey. Beardy was well-prepared, and playing in his homeroom did little to throw him off the scent. Tyler Edey overcame a tough opponent in Berry McLean by a 9-5 score and found himself in another tussle with highly regarded Felix Beardy. This re-match went the same way as that previous final but with a more convincing result in favor of Klatt, this time 9-4 over Solleveld. Klatt then faced Ryan Solleveld in a re-match of the final at Canadian Tour event number 5l. Jason Klatt survived a hill-hill scare before advancing over Jeff Clare 9-8. In total, Montal had dropped only five racks in his first three matches. He carried that form through to his match against American Rory Hendrickson with a 9-3 win. Top-seeded Edwin Montal again looked strong in defeating Doug Nobiss 9-1. Winners’-side action commenced early with some enticing prospects to whet the appetite of the pool fans in Winnipeg. All three were relegated to the stands for the remainder of the event in Winnipeg. The other two players to be listed among the missing on the B-side were Scott Harder and Fast Eddy. Second seed John Morra was one of three players to be disqualified on the one-loss side and was forced to make his way back to Toronto empty-handed.
Apparently the cooler temperatures affected some of the players’ sleeping patterns. The seventh stop of the Canadian 9-Ball Tour, presented by Indigo Chapters bookstores and Cineplex Entertainment, saw unseasonably cold weather once again greet the 64 players making their way back to the venue for Saturday morning play.
