Rodney Morris

Rodney Morris (born 25 November, 1970 in Anaheim, California, USA) is a professional pool player. He currently resides in Houston, Texas.

In 1996, Morris made a name of himself when he won the US Open Nine-ball Championship against Efren Reyes. From there, his name didn't shine for several years. This wasn't until in 2003 where he dominated the World Pool League tournament, besting Thorsten Hohmann who won world championship that year. [cite web
