Was quoted as saying, ““I think that the Americans have more experience [in eight-ball]—and the Filipinos—but I think that the Europeans are catching on quick, and I would imagine that, given time, their game will come up to an even higher level. But it’s a process—it doesn’t come overnight. Americans might have the edge, but I wouldn’t count out any of the Europeans from coming in and winning this tournament.”
