Back home from the TX open. I was very fortunate to have a really deep run and finished 17/24th in some good company out of 154 open players.

I played pretty good overall and Lost to Roland Garcia final 16 on the winners and to SVB on the losers right after that. It really was fun to watch them up close running out and Can't complain about that.

Good luck to Roland in the finals and hope you snap it!!

Regardless of the results it was such a great time at Skinny Bob's Billiards as always and thanks to the crew and staff for hosting this amazing longest running 53rd annual 9 ball tournament in the USA!!

Also got to meet the kid in person which was super cool!!

Thank you to everyone for your support ♥️♥️ and to all my sponsors for giving me this opportunity
