He talked about quitting early this season if he doesn't make a major impact - this result will push him further toward making that decision. This is a worrying trend in the game that Steve Davis has highlighted, players realising there is no money in the game unless you are in the elite. If nothing good comes of this new international tour proposal, I think we will see the resurgence of older, established players who have less money worries and the stifling of new talent. Although it would appeal to older fans seeing their favourites back in the limelight, it would not be good for the sport as it would take it back to where it was in the 1960's.

Nice to see Michael White winning too. An Irish winner too in Mark Joyce. Tony Drago must be playing well, fair play to him.
