Cooke Stands the Heat for Billiards Tour Win
Jacoby Custom Cues Carolina Tour / Rocky Mount, NC
by Rock City Promotions
The Jacoby Custom Cues Carolina Tour was hosted by Dot’s Cue Club in Rocky Mount, NC, May 5, where Tommy Cooke sliced and diced his way to a final-match win for the title.
Cooke fought his way to the hot seat with wins over Robert Ray 7-4, Mike Bullard 7-4, and Phillip Richardson 7-4. Ray took the long road to the championship match. After being sent to the one-loss side, Ray proceeded to make short work of Wayne Richardson 7-2, Joe Whaley 7-1, and Bullard 7-3. One more win over Richardson 7-4 and the rematch with Cooke was on.
Cooke won the lag but came up dry on the break. After trading innings at the table, Cooke finally sank the 9 to take the first game. A close match all the way, it seemed both players wanted the cash equally. Cooke never relinquished the lead, though, and went on to take the final match with a hill-hill victory.
The next stop on the Jacoby Tour will be at Emerald City in Greenville , NC , June 2nd.
Results:
1st Tommy Cooke
2nd Robert Ray
3rd Phillip Richardson
