Three Cushion Billiard News
- Hits: 4635
It is with tremendous sadness that we inform the fraternity of 3 cushion billiard players across this country of the passing of Dave Van Lokeren.
Those of us that had the pleasure of knowing him and the privilege to call him a friend will miss him dearly. Never has there been a more gracious player in terms of his overall demeanor. Whether he was practicing or competing, winning or losing, running 8 or missing for 4 or 5 consecutive innings, David was always in control of his emotions. But it was more than his emotions that were being controlled, it was really his respect for the people around him that made him what he was and ultimately to become known as 'Gentleman Dave'.

Piedrabuena second at USBA TOUR OPEN at Chris's Billiards, Chicago, IL, September 26-28, 2014
The Open Tournament at Chris's Billiards was a huge success as we expected a maximum of 28 players and got 33 players participating. With the players arranged into 5 groups of 7 players each (2 flights had a bye), instead of only taking the top 2 players from each flight (since one top player was seeded into each flight), tournament director Jim Shovak decided to take the best four 3rd-place finishers of each flight, making a total of 14 players advancing to the next round plus an auction and a lottery winner for a total of 16 players.
