Forsyth Keeps First in His SightsYorkville, NY / CNY 9-Ball Tourby Matthew Pingor Hippo’s House of Billiards was busy as a field of 36 players came out for the April 1-2, stop of the CNY 9-Ball tour. Surpassing all, Jim Forsyth went after the $1,700-added with gusto as he took first place in Yorkville. During the hot seat match, Dave Drydel was preoccupied playing Vince Capatto. This did not end the way Drydel intended and he fell to Capatto 7-4. In the quarterfinals, Forsyth made his stand. Facing Bruce Carrol, he began making his presence known. They took the match hill-hill. This did not work out to Carrol’s advantage. He is a AA+ handicap, and because of that, he had to win the match by two, or loose at a tie. Yielding Forsyth to advance, the quarterfinals ended 7-7.
Drydel had but one more chance in the semifinals. He tried to hold on as he posted a handful of wins, however, Forsyth had the foresight to prepare for that and he stepped in to make sure that Drydel would be stopped in his tracks 7-4. The finals featured a double elimination format. Forsyth had much work to do. Winning the first match, Forsyth slighted Capatto in an amazing 7-1 victory. With one more race to go, Forsyth began driving on a bumpy road. Both players bartered games back and forth in a race to four. Tied at 3-3, Forsyth took advantage of one more chance to stay on the table and in doing so, won the event, along with $850 for first place, following a tight score of 4-3. Results:1st Jim Forsyth2nd Vince Capatto3rd Dave Drydel4th Bruce Carrol5th Ray HartRyan Snow7th Paul EnslinBob Fuller9th Gary EmpyBugs WellsPaul AndersonDamon SorbrosVisit Inside POOL Magazine for the latest news from the sport of billiards and pool.
