Ussery/Davenport split prizes in South Carolina Open 9-Ball at Rack & Grill III in Aiken, SC
Not that the $3,000-added, South Carolina Open 9-Ball event that drew 53 entrants to Rack & Grill III in Aiken, SC over this past weekend (Sat., Oct. 17-18) was without its strong menu of competitors with top-notch matches to watch. But for a minute there, it looked as though Tommy Kennedy and Johnny Archer might get together to recreate their two matches (hot seat and final) at the US Open 9-Ball Championships in Chesapeake, VA, about one month over 34 years ago (Sept. 16-20, 1992). Kennedy won both matches and chalked up his one and only US Open win. The bracket for the SC Open 9-Ball set them up on opposite ends, which would have made their first possible meet-up the battle for the hot seat and the second, the event final.
