Unchallenged Win for Davis

Jacoby Custom Cues Carolina Tour / Raleigh, NC
by Rock City Promotions

Billiard News - A record field turned out for the June 23 stop of the Jacoby Custom Cues Carolina Tour, which was hosted by Babineau’s Billiards in Raleigh, NC. Northeast giant Mike Davis showed up and shook off all competition to win the title.
{mosimage}Two of the strongest players in the room, BJ Ussery and Davis, were paired in the first round and provided quite a show for the spectators in attendance. Recently sidelined because of health problems, Ussery had not played in over two months. Although Ussery jumped out to a 4-1 lead, Davis capitalized on a failed safe with ball in hand. The match went hill-hill, with Davis taking it 7-6.

After squeaking by Ussery, Davis made his way to the hot seat by defeating Peaches Fuller 7-3, T.J. Moore 7-4, and Sidney Champion 7-3.

Fuller took a much longer route to the championship match. Before losing to Davis on the winners’ side, Fuller posted victories over Ben Manning 7-3 and David Fulcher 7-0. Fuller earned a rematch with Davis after mowing down Steve Dye 7-3, Paul Mullins 7-1, Buddy Fisher 7-5, Bernie Kirby 7-3, and Sidney Champion 7-5.

The championship match played out in similar fashion to the first meeting between Davis and Fuller. Winning the lag, Fuller came up dry on the first break. Davis ran out, including a jump shot to pocket the 3 ball. A break and run, plus a 9 ball on the break, gave Davis a 3-0 lead. After winning a couple of safety battles, Davis held a 6-2 lead. He won the next three in a row in style to win the match 9-3.

Results:
1st Mike Davis
2nd Peaches Fuller
3rd Sidney Champion
4th Bernie Kirby
5th T.J. Moore
