Established top UK Pro Phil Burford took the honours at the Nottingham 9 Ball Open this weekend, the pool tournament run by Kevin Simpson.
Burford's protagonist in the final, Chris Buckmaster, paid tribute to his opponent saying, "I have to say Phil was my toughest opponent of the day, although the final was not a classic, we both made quite a few mistakes and I found it hard to keep my focus after such a long day."
Buckmaster also complimented the organisers too, "The day was very enjoyable, Kev ran the tournament very well, which included a very tasty pie buffet which was a nice treat!"
The event followed the now traditional format of group stages followed by a single elimination round from the last 16 onwards, and all the entry fees were returned to the players as prize money.
