Josh Osbourn (in the red shirt)

Josh Osbourn, a member of the Texas Tech Knight Raiders B team, just won the Far West Open (A class) in Reno, NV. He almost did not make the tournament due to horrendous flight problems. He ended up renting a car to get to Reno. He made it worth his while by winning all his games, 57 rating points, and $1,000! Congratulations to Josh!
