NOTABLE: As usual, the Pro Singles had fierce competition and some great matches. David Williams Jr and Johnny Wayne Crawford competed for the winner of the winner's bracket before Johnny Wayne encountered his first loss. John McDermott & Bobby Voorhis fought in the loser bracket for the opportunity to play Johnny Wayne in the loser bracket and go back for a chance to have a hopeful double dip against David Jr. However, David Jr. was able to successfully protect his 1st Place spot. Great playing by all!
