Re: Virginia Open
Congrats to Ryan, he played very well throughout the tournament. The points don't even really tell the whole story. This is probably the closest tournament I have ever played in. Going into the 8th round I think there was 8 players within 2 pts of each other. Lots of great games and was fun. Alex send me a message and I will see what I can do
