Dennis Hatch has won the Viking Cue Tour National Championship at The Pool Room in Duluth, Ga.
Hatch was undefeated until the hot-seat match where he lost to Stevie Moore, but a quick 11-6 win over Stoney Stone on the one loss side earned Hatch another shot at Moore in the finals.
Hatch won the first set of the true double elimination finals 11-8 and won the second set 11-9. Hatch did give Moore multiple chances, especially due to miscues on Hatch's part, but Moore never seemed to be able to capitalize and gain control of the match.
Hatch earned $5000 for first place, while Moore settled for $3500 in second place prize money. Stoney Stone and Johnny Archer filled out the top four places.
