English Billiards - 2016 LiteTask British Open

3rd & 4th December 2016 / Cue Gardens, Bradford, England

CAUSIER IS BRITISH OPEN BEST

Dave Causier immediately bounced back from his disappointment of losing the Long Format World Championship a few weeks ago by successfully defending the LiteTask British Open title in Bradford last weekend.​

A field of 40 players began this Level 3 World Billiards event at Cue Gardens. Causier coasted through his Round Robin group, winning all four matches and not allowing any opponent to reach triple figures.

​In the Knockout portion of the tournament he beat Bernard French 1323-143 in the Last 16, Ryan Mears 663-371 in the Quarter-Finals and then Phil Mumford 718-402 in the Semis.

​He was sternly tested in the Final by the also unbeaten Robin Wilson, but emerged a 577-512 victor.

Causier pockets the £640 winner's purse and an additional £40 for the highest break of 619 he made against French.
