Kudos to an invincible Barry Behrman for 40 uninterrupted years of the Open. It all began in his poolroom. Today, the 9 on the spot format caused so many cut-break, cross-side scratches that the players retreated back to Q-Masters to practice it. Shaw was jubilant, “I got it, I’ve snapped over 200 9-Balls.” His backer responded, “Let’s see how many you snap tomorrow!” Chilly in here.
