Unlucky matchup for Tom. His score could be good enough to run away with it on other days not vice versa.
That’s why the year makes it more difficult, especially in European history.
It looked like this was going to be a battle between Scott and Tom until Scott blew the game wide open by finding back to back daily doubles and getting them both correct and putting the game away. Scott also set the record for the highest score going into Final this season which is 41,200.
That shows you why Scott Riccardi is the Heavy Favorite in this tournament.
