Mike Davis avenges only loss to win Florida Pro Tour event


Mike Davis

The Seminole Florida Pro Tour event at Bank Shot Billiards in Jacksonville, Florida ended after seeing some great Sunday matches. The day started with twelve players:

Winner's side of the bracket:
Tony Crosby/John Ditoro
Rafael Martinez/Neil Fujiwara

One-loss side:
Robb Saez/Jason Richko
Mike Davis/Stevie Moore
Corey Deuel/Louis Ulrich
Paul Song/Adam Wheeler

With scores of 8-4 over Tony Crosby and a hot seat match against Rafael Martinez ending on the hill (8-7), John DiToro waited for his opportunity to take the event win. While on the one-loss side, Louis Ulrich defeated Corey Deuel 8-5 and Paul Song 8-6, only to be sent packing by Neil Fujiwara with a score of 8-5.

But, the story of the day would have to be Mike Davis. After losing his first round to John DiToro on Friday night, he has been a consistent threat to any that crossed his path on the one-loss side – today was no different as he was victorious over Stevie Moore 8-6, Robb Saez 8-5, Tony Crosby 8-4, Neil Fujiwara 8-1, and in the semi-final round Rafael Martinez to get to the finals against the same guy that put him on the one-loss side, John DiToro.

No telling if Davis had revenge on his mind in the finals, but the extended race to 9 saw Davis in complete control and cruising to a 9-2 win for first place and $3500 in prize money.
