51 and Counting for Putnam on the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tourby Matthew PingorCanton, OH - Shawn Putnam was at it again as the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour pulled 54 players into Fiddlestix of Canton, OH. The March 4-5 event paid out a purse of $3,630. Placing first, this was number 51 for Putnam’s run on the Viking Tour. The hot seat match saw Justin Daniels, a former student of Putnam’s, play an amazing match against Putnam. Both players were phenomenal, but Putnam obviously did really well at teaching Daniels, since he took Putnam down 9-8. Tullio Antonelli slugged it out with Nate Laidman in the semifinals. Antonelli tried his hardest to hold ground, but he slipped in the last game, allowing Laidman to win 7-6. Quicker than you can spell the word I, Putnam flattened the emerging Laidman 7-1 in the semifinals.
Putnam wanted his big payback against Daniels in the finals. Having already given Daniels many lessons, Putnam was convinced that Daniels needed a really fast and intense survey class on final matches. Putnam stopped at nothing as he won the first set 9-3, and the second set 7-1 to place first yet again.  Results:1st Shawn Putnam2nd Justin Daniels3rd Nate Laidman4th Tullio Antonelli5th Matt LongMark Maryo7th Adam “GQ” SmithDave Bushway9th Steve LaueyRon MartinWilly Van GuilderBen Zimmer Visit Inside POOL Magazine for the latest news from the Viking Cues 9 Ball Tour.
