Ocala, Fla. (July 21, 2018) \u2013 After going through a dry spell for several years without a win on the Tiger Florida, Tour, Michell Monk won the TFT\u2019s opening event of the year. Now, Monk has proved that she\u2019s not only back, but she\u2019s back with a vengeance. After a long day at Boulevard Billiards, Monk kept her composure, kept her cool, stayed the course and never gave up.\u00a0 In the end, Monk was victorious in a difficult match late into the night over tour veteran Stephanie Mitchell, to win her second TFT tournament this year!<\/p>\n

The women play a modified double elimination format. The final two from the one-loss side redraw back into the final two in the winners\u2019 bracket onto a Final Board-single elimination race to seven.\u00a0 Jeannie Seaver made it to the Final Board undefeated with wins against Becky Yelvington, Lauren Kowalski, and Nicolle Cuellar. Stephanie Mitchell also went undefeated against Gwen Sharpton and sending Monk west in a hill-hill match.\u00a0 Cuellar came back from the one loss side after a tough match, ending the day for Lauren Kowalski 7-6, and Monk got to the Final Board beating out Becky Yelvington 7-4.<\/p>\n

The redraw put Monk up against Seaver and Cuellar against Mitchell.\u00a0 Monk stopped Seaver 7-5, and Mitchell did the same for Cuellar 7-2.\u00a0 In the final hill-hill battle, and playing consistent as she had all day, Monk pulled out the win against Mitchell to win Tiger Florida Tour Stop #4.<\/p>\n

With two events left for the year, this win has Monk on top of the leader board with 600 points, followed by Jessica Barnes with 500 points, and Nicolle Cuellar in third place with 400 points.<\/p>\n
