Bowman Pockets Leisure Time Billiards
McDermott All-American Tour / East Moline, IL
by InsidePOOL Staff
Jesse Bowman again proved his dominance of the McDermott All-American Tour on their May 5 stop. Hosted by Leisure Time Billiards in East Moline, IL, the event saw Bowman run undefeated to the finals through the 39-player field.
After outplaying Jim LaFavre 6-3, Bowman moved on to the hot seat match. There he faced off against Mike Dunklin, who earlier had defeated Mike Herrera 5-3, and sent Dunklin west as well 6-4. In the left side of the chart, Rich Mager ousted LaFavre 5-4, while Anthony Garcia eliminated Herrera 4-3. Mager went on to take out Garcia 5-3 and then advanced to the semifinals, where he also was able to defeat Dunklin 5-3. Mager couldn’t keep his streak going into the finals, though, for Bowman triumphed by a 6-3 margin.
By virtue of Bowman meeting his free entry quota, and second-place Rich Mager being the highest-finishing ACS member after Bowman, Rich qualified for a free 9-ball singles entry into the 2007 ACS Nationals in Las Vegas, courtesy of the ACS.
