Joyner was red hot coming into the finals after beating Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan, who earlier defeated Jose Parica in a hill-hill match. He ran the last two tables of a close match to win going away 9-7. Joyner took the first game of the final match, and from there it was neck and neck. Morris had the momentum and wouldn't give it up as he pushed to a 5-3 lead, then Joyner won his final game of the afternoon. At 6-4, Morris was greedy with the table and allowed Joyner one shot on the way to a 7-4 lead. It was more of the same in the next game as Joyner's single attempt at the one ball scratched. It was all Morris needed to take a commanding 8-4 lead. In the final game, Joyner's only shot was a beautiful jump shot which scored his target ball, but scratched. The crowd could see what was coming and Morris delivered it in style, putting away the last four balls and the championship. Visit InsidePOOL for the latest news in the sport of billiards and pool.
