DENNIS Orcollo and Lee Van Corteza brought the World Cup of Pool title back to the Philippines after trouncing the Dutch pair of Neils Feijen and Nick Van den Berg in the race-to-10 final in London early Monday morning (Manila time).
The Filipino pair won it by scores of 10-8, winning the last two racks to pull away from a tight 8-8 contest.
They became the third Filipino duo to win the annual single-elimination tournament for doubles team in nine-ball competition after legends Efren `Bata’ Reyes and Francisco `Django’ Bustamante won the inaugural event in 2006 and then repeated in 2009.
The Filipinos won the top prize of $60,000.
On the way to the championship match, Orcollo and Corteza beat the Chinese Taipei pair of Chang Jung-lin and Ko Pin-yi, 9-7, in the semis.
