OBERON OPEN
Barton's House- Grand Rapids, MI
April 28, 2007

On a beautiful Spring Saturday, the Oberon was flowing and the Monkeyballs were flying as a ten person field gathered to help Andy Dressler celebrate the last day of his 20s. An abundance of Oberon will likely put Dre on the shelf for his 30th, and the top ranked player in the world - Casey Frushour - will also be recovering from his unexpected poor performance.

The Oberon Open champion was host Chad Barton. Barton started the day slow going 2-2 in pool play, but his luck turned after beating wife Heather in the first round of the tournament (while each held on to a daughter -- photo coming soon). Barton beat an unlikely finalist for the championship, Mike Gruennert. Gruennert finished last in his pool, but found his game and rolled into the championship match. Barton won the championship 15-8, 15-4 to give the rookie his first Monkeyball title.

Happy Birthday, Dre. Thanks to the Bartons for hosting. And we'll see you all at the World Championships on August 4.
