Dick Jaspers vs Sang Lee: 1998 Carom Corner Tour - RR Match 7

Описание: This long-lost footage is part of a series of videos that CaromTV.com captured at the 1998 $150,000 Carom Corner Tour stop at Chris' Billiards in Chicago. It was never released due to technical problems that we had with some of its switching equipment. I am making these available for the die-hard enthusiasts because contained in them are some absolutely stellar performances and nail-biters during Sang Lee's rise to the top of one of the strongest international fields ever assembled on US soil at the time. The super-star field included: Sang Lee, Dick Jaspers, Raymond Ceulemans, Semih Sayginer, Frederic Caudron, Eddy Leppins, Francis Forton, Mazin Shooni, Bill Smith, and many other champions.

In this 50-point match which occurred in the earlier part of the round-robin, Dick Jaspers puts together an astronomical average of over 3.000 (16 innings). The result represented an early loss by Sang Lee to the current World Champion Dick Jaspers. After taking this loss, Sang Lee proceeded storm back through the rest of the field (besting Sayginer, Ceulemans, and many others) sustaining a constant 2.000 average for a chance to meet Jaspers again in a Final Playoff between 1st and 2nd place after the completion of the star-studded round-robin.
