McLoughlin wins a chance of a lifetime with US Open opportunity!

Despite being the number one ranked player in Ireland, with several TV appearances under his belt, and invites to international events like MatchroomSports World Cup of Pool, Paddy McLoughlin has financed himself around Europe with little or no sponsorship.

Now though, he is starting to reap the benefits of his single-minded determination thanks to an incredible win at the Scottish American Pool Player Association's US Open Qualifier in Glasgow.

McLoughlin caught a flight to Glasgow, paid his �35 entry fee, and after tearing through the field of 67 runners, "The Ginger Magician" earned his flight, hotel, $500 entry fee, and expenses to the US Open 9-Ball Championships in Chesapeake, Virginia - without doubt the most prestigious annual event on the United State's pool tournament circuit.

Obviously Paddy is delighted with the win, and said, "Yeah, I'm over the moon. It's a dream come true to play in the US Open. I would never be able to finance a trip to the US Open so having these qualifiers are brilliant, and there definitely should be more qualifiers, maybe for the Euro Tour and World Championships and so on."

"These qualifiers can change player's lives - it's only just starting to sink in".
