Friends,

I've seen the list of champions of the US Open.
I was wondering if anyone has any list/info
on the 1st-runner ups of the prestigious event.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks, everyone!

Wow!

I have only gathered the scores from 1992 through 2003 but I will do some more research on this project. Hopefully, I could go down to the first year of the Open.

Scores - U.S. Open 9 Ball Championships

2003 - Jeremy Jones (11) vs. Jose Parica (4) - Sep 15-21
2002 - Ralf Souquet (13) vs. Alex Pagulayan - Sep 23-29
2001 - Corey Deuel (11) vs. Mika Immonen (0) - Sep 10-16
2000 - Earl Strickland (11) vs. Takeshi Okumura (5) - Sep 18-24
1999 - Johnny Archer (11) vs. Jeremy Jones (7) - Sep 21-26
1998 - Buddy Hall (11) vs. Tang Hoa (5) - Sep 16-20
1997 - Earl Strickland (11) vs. Efren Reyes (3) - Sep 16-21
1996 - Rodney Morris (11) vs. Efren Reyes (6)
1995 - Reed Pierce (11) vs. Efren Reyes (6) - Sep 27 - Oct 1
1994 - Efren Reyes (9) vs. Nick Varner (6) - Sep 14-25
1993 - Earl Strickland (11) vs. Tony Ellin (8) - Sep 15-19
1992 - Tommy Kennedy (9) vs. Johnny Archer (1) - Sep 16-20

Note: Missing the dates of the 1996 Open but I will easily find this one later....I was the week after Morris won the Camel PBT in Puerto Rico.

Many thanks for the added info, buddy!

Great list.

I got to see Jimmy Reid's US OPEN trophy in person at his house years ago (when he lived in TN). That was very cool.

If I could go back I would have taken a photo of me next to it with Jimmy. I do have a videotape of our lesson that Jimmy made which is cool.

wow, Filipino's fare really poorly in the finals. Amazing, considering how they usually never fail under pressure. But, 2-9 is a bad record to have in the finals. It's amazing enough for a Filipino to have been in the finals 11 of the last 15, but sucks to have lost 9 of them.

My friend, don't be too hard on the Filipino's. These results just show that they are a force to reckon with in all tournaments.

If it helps remember that Pagulayan beat Parica when he won it; a phillipino had to lose it that year. Don't know if that make it better or worse.

Wow!

Efren made it to the Finals in 4 consecutive years. He won in 1994, and then finished runner-up the next 3 consecutive years. He could have been right up there with Earl Strickland.

Earl is the King of the open!
