Womens Snooker History Made in Seattle, US, in 2022…
Jamie Hunter IS the first US Womens’ Open Champion…
THE FIRST EVER US female snooker event occurred over the weekend in the US provincial state of Seattle with BIG-TIME sponsor tech giant Microsoft in on the action just down the road from OX Billiards Snooker Club!…
Some of the world’s best female snooker players excitedly packed their suitcases last week to jet off across the Atlantic to the land of hope and glory to the 15th largest provincial state in the US and the shipping port.
It was down to business though in the luxurious billiard hall of OX Billiards, as 15 players managed the trip to the US, with the absentees of professionals Ng On Yee, Nutcharut Wongharuthai (Mink, still celebrating her first win on the professional tour) and Reanne Evans.
This left the likes of Emma Parker and Rebecca Kenna a great chance to attain silverware in the first-ever US Open.
