David Causier Claims 2026 World Billiards European Open Title in Vienna

Causier Dominates Final Against Gilchrist

David Causier has won the 2026 World Billiards European Open, defeating Peter Gilchrist by a commanding 6-1 margin in the final held at the National Billiards and Snooker Academy in Vienna, Austria.

A Decisive Victory

Causier's performance throughout the final left little room for Gilchrist to mount a challenge, with the scoreline reflecting a dominant display from the English billiards player. The lopsided result underscored Causier's strong form heading into and throughout the Vienna event.

Tournament Setting

The European Open was staged at the National Billiards and Snooker Academy in the Austrian capital, a venue that provided the backdrop for what proved to be a one-sided but high-quality championship final.

The event falls under the jurisdiction of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) and forms part of the international billiards calendar for the 2026 season.
