(de) Nick Varner (born May 15, 1948, in Owensboro, Kentucky) is an American pool player who was inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 1992. Varner is a world champion and has won back to back U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships, in addition to winning the 1999 WPA World Nine-ball Championship at 51 years old. (en) Nick Varner (Owensboro, 15 mei 1948) is een Amerikaans poolbiljarter. Hij was de eerste die twee keer achter elkaar het US Open Nine-ball Championship won (in 1989 en 1990). In 1999 werd Varner wereldkampioen 9-ball, nadat hij acht jaar eerder de finale al eens verloor. Sinds 1992 heeft hij een functie in de biljartorganisatie . Varner moest acht jaar wachten op een nieuwe kans nadat hij in '91 de wereldtitel 9-ball aan Earl Strickland moest laten. In '99 trof hij in de persoon van Jeremy Jones andermaal een landgenoot in de finale, waarin hij ditmaal de sterkste bleek. Varners overwinning op de International Challenge of Champions in 1994 zou voorlopig de laatste blijken voor een speler uit de Verenigde Staten, totdat Johnny Archer hem in 2006 opvolgde. Varner treedt sinds zijn hoogtijdagen voornamelijk nog actief op in pooldemonstraties. (nl) |
