2018 Leende Open

(Redirected from 2018 Portugal Open)

The 2018 Dynamic Billiard Leende Open, was the fourth Euro Tour 9-Ball pool event in 2018.[2] The event was won by America's Shane Van Boening who defeated Albania's Eklent Kaçi 9–8 in the final. Unlike other Euro Tour events, the field was open to other nations outside of Europe. Van Boening became the only American after Johnny Archer in 2000 to win a Euro Tour event.[3] In making the final, Eklent had been in the semi-final or better of the last 5 Euro Tour events.
