Phil Harrison

Phil Harrison, nicknamed The Farmer, is an English pool player from Cambridgeshire who was WEPF World Champion of English 8-ball pool in 2009 and finished runner-up in 2011, 2017 and 2018. He considers his biggest win outside that world title to be the inaugural China Classic of 1999, held in Beijing and watched by 15 million viewers, where he came through a semi-final against Chris Melling before beating the top-ranked Chinese player in the final. In 2005 he accepted an invitation to the International Pool Tour, and he twice reached the last 64 of the World 9-ball Championships in Cardiff. A long-standing member of the UK-style 8-ball elite, he has won around 30 major events.
