The Pro-Am tournament is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the
world. Professionals and amateurs are play together in consulting
doubles. The entry fee this year was $13,000, and the caliber of play
is always very high. Of course sometimes it may be difficult to distinguish
the pros from the amateurs.
The four semi-finalists were:
Nack Ballard—Harvey Huie
In a hard-fought and well-played match, Ballard-Huie triumphed over Arnold-Woolsey (we may be seeing this match featured soon on GammOnLine). In the other semi-final match, also a close one, Senkiewicz-Sherman topped Davis-Tinsley. The finals was a 23-point match. Senk-Sherman pulled to a 13-7 lead, but Ballard-Huie were able to come back and close the gap. With Senk-Sherman ahead 15-14, this pivotal game occurred. Click HERE to see the match. |
