| John Roush survived a marathon final round contest against Ben Good with a draw and held on to claim victory at the 2001 Kanawha Valley Open. John finished a half point in front David Saville, Jim Fuller and Ben Good. Biggest surprise of the day was Ben Good's second round victory over expert David Saville. Ben has continued his improved play and will find himself in class A sometime this year. Jim Olson also scored an upset win over a Aaron Richardson on time. The list of prize winners: 1st: John Roush $100 2nd: Ben Good, David Saville and Jim Fuller $33 U1400: David Hundley and Jim Olson $20 Upset: Ben Good, Jim Olson Book The upset prize would have gone to Jim Olson based on rating point difference but because David Saville was still in the room and Aaron Richardson was not, Jim got a well done and Ben got a book. Jim was later presented a special bound score book so as to sooth the oversight. | |
