 Johl
started playing pool as a young child, and at age 12, he was a star Aussie rules
footballer, and junior Motorcross champion. He was forced to choose between
his three favorite sports at a young age, and his love of pool took over as
his number one interest. So he embarked on a professional cue-sport career.
Johl became Australian junior 8-ball, 9-ball and Snooker Champion a few
years later. He then went on to become a professional Snooker player for 7 years.
Johl later turned his hand at 9-ball and he became the best Australian
player, winning the Australian 8-ball and 9-ball champs.
Later in Australia, he earned a spot in the World 9-ball in Cardiff, Wales
and was and was narrowly defeated, by a 13-11 score line. Johl developed
a growing frustration with cue-sports in general, with the prize money that
was constantly decreasing in the UK.
With Snooker also loosing major sponsors, Johl was forced to quit playing
professional cue-sports. He now co-owns two different highly successful businesses
in Surfer’s Paradise, Australia, the tourist capital of Australia. After
hearing of the exciting new International Pool Tour, he could not wait to get
back into the game, and Johl is counting the days to set foot in Las Vegas to
take on the best players in the world!
