Pool - 2015 Stavanger Open 9 Ball Championship
26th-28th March 2015 / Inside Kong Oscar Club, Stavanger, Norway
FEIJEN KEEPS HIS COOL IN NORWAY
World 9 Ball Champion Niels Feijen took the 2015 Stavanger Open 9 Ball Pool Championship after fending off a very stiff field of top professional players and budding local hopefuls.
Set on a handicap system, the tournament was played in immaculate conditions, with much praise from the competitors.
The entry list had some of the most famous names ever in American Pool, many with World Titles in various disciplines. Yet it was the current king of 9 Ball who survived the chaos to add another trophy to his already impressive collection.
