Women's Pool - 2015 Campeonato Panamericano de Pool (Central and South American Pool Championships)

10th-20th July 2015 / El Trebol Pool, Moreno, Argentina

              PAN-AM GOLD FOR

           VILLAR AND AYALA

Costa Rica's Adriana Villar become the most successful player in CPB female continental championship history as she struck double gold in Argentina.

The 29 year old regained the 9 ball crown for the fourth time in her career with victory over Peru's Jacqueline Alvarez in the final.

Villar also conquered the 10 ball ranks for the second time when beating Chilean Susana Barrera into top spot. She last won this title back in the divisions debut year of 2009.

In all it means individual 'Pan Cup' wins number 5 and 6 on her pool CV, alongside a host of other podium finishes. She passes Miirjana Grujicic (Venezuela) who was on 5.

There was however success for Argentine Soledad Ayala in the 8 ball, as she secured the host nations only gold medal of the Championships.

Daniela Catalan of Guatemala was definitely the star of the show during the Girls events. 

​She scooped her first Panamericano honours in the 10 ball, and the newly formed 8 ball disciplines. Columbian Karla Bermudez also enjoyed a great time within Buenos Aires - highlighting a tournament win in the 9 ball.
