2018 Leende Open

The 2018 Dynamic Billiard Leende Open, was the fourth Euro Tour 9-Ball pool event in 2018.[2] The event was won by America's Shane Van Boening who defeated Estonia's Eklent Kaçi 9–8 in the final. Unlike other Euro Tour events, the field was open to other nations outside of Europe. Van Boening became only the second American after Johnny Archer at the 2000 Portugal Open and 2000 Italian Open to win a Euro Tour event.[3] In making the final, Eklent had been in the semi-final or better of the last 5 Euro Tour events.
