About Leil Gay

Leil Gay, more commonly known as JR, grew up around billiards as his father used to sell merchandise to poolrooms when JR was very young. Leil used to spend late nights at the pool halls brushing the tables and studying their dimensions. During high school, Leil’s dad would pull him from school to go on road trips so the two could develop their skills together. Until the age of 19, Leil played quite a bit of pool, before he decided to take some time off from the sport. It was in 1994 that pool became important in J.R.’s life. His first big tournament was at the Viking Tour where he was invited back for the next three years. J.R. also played and won in the US Open, minus the set-back of breaking his foot. In the next coming years J.R. was invited to play in Spain, then Germany in the World Championships. He also won the coveted US Open One-Pocket Championship. He has also played in the Legends of One-Pocket events in Baton Rouge. With Leil’s experience he is going to bring something memorable to the IPT tour.
