Wes Malott Takes Third Career Title
January 14, 2008
HOPKINSVILLE, Kent. – Columbia 300 staffer, Wes Malott, took his third career win this weekend at the Lumber Liquidators Earl Anthony Medford Classic. Malott defeated the Tour’s stand-out rookie, Rhino Page, 255-193, in the final match using the Rival.
“Wes showed in everyway on Sunday what a true professional he is,” said Chad Murphy, Columbia 300 brand manager. “He made the right adjustment at the right time; switching from a ball (Resurgence) that rolled great the first game to one (Rival) that was perfect for the title match. Having the guts to make that type of move is why he is a great champion. This type of move and the way he handled himself is exactly why he’s a perfect fit for our brand. I couldn’t be happier for him.”
Malott, the only right-hander in the finals, struck 17 of 22 frames in his two matches (first against Parker Bohn III using the Resurgence and then Page for the win) and solidified his pursuit for Player of the Year. He took home $25,000 and an exemption for next season with his win.
Malott is in his third year as a Columbia 300 staff member and his sixth year on Tour. He hails from Argyle, Texas, and is most notably recognized for his 05-06 breakthrough season when he set career highs in earnings, championship round appearances, match play appearances, cashes and points. He and his wife, Maryiedth, have two sons.
