Hofstätter returns to winner's circle in 2010 San Diego Classic

2010 San Diego ClassicGerda Hofstätter from Austria won the season-opening 2010 San Diego Classic.

Defending champion Monica Webb (USA) finished tied ninth after losing 9-3 to Hofstätter.

The event took place from March 10-14 2010 at the Viejas Casino, Alpine, California, USA. It was the first of two(!) events this season on the Classic Tour.

Monica Webb claims 2009 San Diego Classic for second straight win

Kelly Fisher three-peats in San Diego Classic

Kelly Fisher is the pool queen of San Diego. For the third consecutive year she came out on top in the San Diego Classic.

Fisher from England blanked Austria's Jasmin Ouschan 7-0 in the final. Xiaoting Pan (China) and Julie Kelly (Ireland) finished joint third.

Fisher said she hoped all events would be played in this arena. All her three WPBA titles have come here.

For the second tournament in a row neither of the two dominant players on tour made it to the semi-finals. Will this be the end of the dominance by Allison Fisher (England) and Karen Corr (Northern Ireland)?

Even though she won Fisher did not advance from her third place position in the WPBA Rankings. She moved closer to the leaders though. Now she's 5,750 points behind Allison and just 1,200 points behind Corr. Ouschan enters the list at No. 40.

The event took place from March 18-22 at the Viejas Casino, Alpine, California, USA. This was the third event of the WPBA season. Next up is the Enjoypool.com 9 Ball Championship, May 13-19.

Kelly Fisher defends San Diego title

The latest British snooker pro to join the American pool circuit continues the trend started by Allison Fisher and Karen Corr. This weekend Kelly Fisher won the WPBA San Diego Classic for the second year in a row.

She stormed through the field, beating many of the top pros on the way. In the semi-final she beat the greatest of them all, Allison Fisher, 7-4, before overcoming Corr by the same score in the final.

Corr had earlier beaten yet another Brit, Sarah Ellerby, in the second semi-final.

The win will at least move Kelly into fourth place in the WPBA rankings. With this pace she might soon challenge Allison and and Corr at the very top.

Ellen Van Buren's 9th place means she is the newest touring pro.
