My CBS Local News coverage a month before I went to this tournament.
I played two matches (double elimination tournament) and did not win either... However, I did play well and gave Keith McCready a run for his money... The score ended 11-9. I had him tied 9-9 with me running out but I got sloppy on my shape on the eight ball and left it hanging in the pocket for Keith to run out the 8 and 9 and he broke and ran the next game to win the match... For a part time pool player I did not do that bad...
Hope took photo's of me playing Keith and I have posted them below. For those of you who do not know who Keith is he is the pool player in the movie "Color of Money" who is famous for telling Tom Cruise that "its like a nightmare, isn't it"!

The following photo is after the tournament the wife and I went to Baltimore to fly out. We had a few days to visit the area and of course practice some pool...
