On April 10, twenty one ladies entered the Fast Eddie's Olhausen 9 Ball Tour sponsored by Schuler Legacy Cues and do these gals have fun!
Top picks were Amanda Lampert, Heather Pulford, Kim Pierce and Corina Campbell.
Grabbing the 5-6th positions were the always-competitive ladies, Melinda 'Honeymooner' (formerly Bailey) Hinojosa and Kim Pierce of Bastrop.
Jumping into the fourth position was Kyu Yi of San Antonio as she is improving at each event.
The third place position went to the local lady, Kawania Watson, who showed 'mucho' heart with her fine performance.
Heather Pulford of Austin showed what she's made of by fighting her way through the one loss side to face off with Amanda who held the hot seat. Heather is having a great year with a victory in February earlier this year at the N.W. Military Tour event.
Heather came to play as she won the first set, 7-4. Amanda proved a bit too much as she defeated Heather, 7-3, in the second and final set.
Amanda proved again to be quite dominant as she gained her second victory and has finished second twice in this year's four events.
Thanks to Bob Hamilton (GM-Culebra), his assistant, Linda, and their fine staff for hosting a fun event. Also, a big thanks to Olhausen Billiards for showing you are 'The Best in Billiards' with your support. Brian of Schuler Legacy Cues, along with Bubba and Schonne of Cue Sales & Service (The National Distributors of Schuler Cues), we couldn't do it without you! A special thanks to Jack Kompan of Mystick Cues, our mentor, for all your help, support, and keeping our heads on straight on and off the tables! Thanks to Gerald Walters for stepping in at the last minute to help with the cue repair. And last and far from least, if you're ever in ole' San Antone and get an urge for authentic Mexican cuisine, make a run to Tino Lopez's restaurant, Theodore's, on the northwest side. You won't be disappointed!
