Sunday was the big 501 singles and I was looking forward to playing this one first match starting off against Isen Veljic that was a tought match going to the final leg missing a (nine darter) on my way I got the edge in fial game winning 5-4. next was Mike Moughan i got through this one with a white wash 6-0. Round of 16 was against Dayton Strawbridge a very good play wasent on form that day I win 6-1 moving to the Last 8 against Steve Brown that was a tough on as well winning that one 5-3 now on to the SEMI Finals against fellow partner Bill Davis I won 6-1 play at the top of my game.
