29th Annual Jack Taylor Memorial
Nov 15-16, 2014
Victoria, BC
This year's edition of the Jack Taylor Memorial drew 18 players from Victoria, Duncan, Vancouver, and Langley, a typical size for this event. Roger Patterson repeated as winner but had to share first this year with Jason Cao and Ross Richardson.
Jason Cao, the current BC Champion, was the heavy favourite to win but was held back due to a first round bye and missing a win in a complicated endgame in the final round against Roger Patterson.
The prize fund was augmented by a generous donation from Duncan Haines. His vacationing in Mexico prevented him from playing however. Many thanks for the support.
The winners: Roger Patterson, Jason Cao, and Ross Richardson
