Sang Lee International Open
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sang Lee International Open is a three-cushion billiards tournament held in Flushing, New York. The event is named after Sang Lee, a Korean American player whose goal was to spread his principles as a player and restore the popularity of carom billiards in the United States. One year after he died in 2004, promoters held the tournament in tribute to him. The tournament is also the richest in the sport, offering a total of $80,000 with $12,000 for the victor as of 2007.
The inaugural event (2005) was won by Sweden's Torbjörn Blomdahl. The 2006 and 2007 edition were both dominated by Frédéric Caudron of Belgium.
