Charlie Bryant completed an undefeated run to win the 2004 Glass City Open.
Bryant started the day on Sunday with a 10-4 win over Danny Basavich and then got comfortable waiting for his opponent in the finals. That opponent would again be Basavich after Basavich's 10-2 domination of Corey Deuel on the one-loss side. In that match, Basavich took control early and ran out every chance he got.
Basavich came out strong in the finals and took an early 4-1 lead, but Bryant clawed back into the match and won nine of the last eleven games for a 10-6 win. Bryant, known for his explosive break, had to change his tactics for the finals. "I usually just like to reach back and fire on the break, but with the corner ball going in each rack I had to go to the soft break. I hate that soft break but you can't argue with what is working. "
Bryant earned $8000 for first place, while Basavich settled for $5000. Deuel and Troy Frank filled out the top four spots.
