Davis Takes First Tiger Win, Hospedales Stuns the Field Tiger Pool Tour / Laurel, MD by Andy Lincoln Billiards News - Side Pockets in Laurel, MD, was the host for the eighth stop of the Tiger Pool Tour the weekend of July 7-8.

Saturday action kicked off with 60 players in the open division event. Brandon Shuff started the day off right with a victory over last event’s winner Danny Mulhollen III. Shuff continued his impressive play with wins over pro player Davis 9-6 and tour regulars Brett Stottlemyer 9-8 and Loye Bolyard 9-4. The bottom half of the bracket looked to be firmly in the control of Shaun Wilkie, who gave up just 12 games in his first 4 matches. Joining Shuff and Wilkie in the final four undefeated going into Sunday were Virginia’s finest, Matt Clatterbuck and Larry Kressel. Eight players remained on the one-loss side. On Sunday, Shuff gave himself a birthday present in the form of a hard-fought win over Clatterbuck. Wilkie also had his hands full with Kressel but advanced with a 9-7 score. Wilkie continued into the hot seat with a 9-5 win over Shuff. The story in the elimination bracket was Davis sending one player after another home. After sending four players to the sidelines Saturday, Davis continued his run by eliminating several other strong players. Brian Deska, Joe Russo, and Kressel fell before Davis met up with Clatterbuck. Davis advanced 7-2, placing Clatterbuck into fourth place. Another 7-2 win by Davis ended Shuff’s day. This set up the single race-to-11 final between Davis and Wilkie. Davis won this one 11-7 for his first win on tour this year. A field of 15 ladies came out to play Sunday. Points leader My-Hanh Lac came out all business, defeating her first two opponents 7-0. She followed this up with a 7-3 win over Falon Farleigh to reach the hot seat match. Tour regular Malea Haacke also rolled with wins over Cheryl Squire, Kim Smith, and Sharon O’Hanlon with little problem The match between Lac and Haacke went to Lac 7-3.
