TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- Matt Smith defeated Jeff Caldwell 22-13 to take the USCA's Midwestern Region singles championship flight. Caldwell opened the action with a break that took yellow through four-back, but didn't quite get an ideal leave set for red (for wicket two). That left the door open for Smith. It didn't take long for Smith to get his first break and from there he pretty much controlled the action.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- Players didn't so much notice the 95 degree heat today as the real battle was against the wind.
