The biggest jumps during match play came from Kolatzny with seven positions, Loop with a five position jump and Taylor, also with five positions, putting her into the finals. And those finals started off with the 5th seed Taylor (+262) taking on the 4th seed Duster (+276). Here Duster started his climb with a 247-212 win. Next up was the 3rd seed Goldsmith (+281) and in a closer match, Duster advanced once again 217- 210. Now against the 2nd seed Salverda (+381) Duster squeaked by 184-178 to meet top seed Struckman (+448) in the best of three games. Duster took the first game 179-170, which was way to close against the leader. In game two, Duster made sure there was distance between the two with a 268-197 victory, capturing his first JAT Farm Club title. Congratulations Kyle.
