He would be last on my list to play, and I would have sent 90% of my money back to the old country, with orders, that I wasn't allowed to ask for any of it, until I had been home a week!Filler will be here soon and I'm guessing Tony will be first on his play list.
JHall came second at Derby in 2020, second at Scotty Townsend in 2020, 3rd at Buffalo's in 2021 and 1st at US Open in 2021. Who has a better tournament resume over 2020-2021? The old knock about which JHall will show up keeps him a dark horse, but over the last two years, he is the most dominant American tournament player.
Last I knew he was stuck in the Philippines -- too bad, because when he was here recently he did seem to be at the top of his One Pocket game!Busty has not played at all. At 57, you're day to day. And I love Busty's game. I think he is easily top 5 when he is playing. But he isn't playing.
I agree but would also put Tony in there -- right at the top in fact. He doesn't waste time either, and he comes up with very creative shots. Busty gets right to his shot also. On the other hand, Dennis, Alex and Corey are maddeningly slow.And Justin is one of my 3 favorite players to watch play, and root for, because: 1. He has an aggressive/fearless/entertaining offensive game. 2. He has an admirable even-tempered demeanor at the table. And 3. He analyzes and shoots quickly - Justin doesn't, like some players we know, get up and down on shots 3 times, needlessly point at balls and rails, stand at the table posturing dramatically after making an error, and take forever to shoot, like some players we know.
The two other players that I like to watch play, and root for, are Danny Smith and Chip Compton - they share all of Justin's positive game-play attributes and offensive playing skills.
Roland Garcia is also on the way upAnd young guns Fedor Gorst and James Aranas are also creeping up.
Invert 1 & 2.1. Dennis Orcullo
2. Alex Pagulayan
3. Tony Chohan
4. Justin Hall
5. Scott Frost
6. Chip Compton
7. Joshua Filler
8. SVB
9. Corey Deuel
10. Evan Lunda
The Canadian Top 10 is easy.
Alex, Morra....and who cares.
And he couldn't get staked playing any of the top 10 even. I've seen it. He gets 9-8 from guys like Evan. Just a hair under the elite players.Warren's I Hole is super solid.
Really good friends since their junior days. They aren't playing. Who is Diaz?I like some of your list Nick!
I guess mine would have to be:
1) Alex
2) Dennis
3) Tony
4) Busty
5) Frost
6) Chip
7) Hall
8) SVB
9) Deuel
10) Lunda / Diaz / Thorpe
Not sure on 10 but probably one of them.
Also, has Chip and Hall matched up? If not, they should!
Ah, that makes sense but it would be a good match I think!Really good friends since their junior days. They aren't playing. Who is Diaz?
WOW, he gets 9-8 from Evan. I wouldn’t have guessed that.And he couldn't get staked playing any of the top 10 even. I've seen it. He gets 9-8 from guys like Evan. Just a hair under the elite players.
