Savannah Easton won the 2025 USA National Pool Women's 8-Ball Championship in July, defeating Sofia Mast 9-2 in the final at Quincy, Illinois. At 15 years old, she's ranked 9th on the WPBA tour and 17th in WPA world rankings. Her Instagram bio lists nine junior national championships across 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, and straight pool. Her father started teaching her the game at age four on a Brunswick Gold Crown table in Las Vegas. Twelve years later, she's competing against Jasmin Ouschan and Kelly Fisher at the Women's World 9-Ball Championship.
Ranked 29th at Twelve, Top Ten at Thirteen
Easton finished 29th in the WPBA overall rankings during her debut season at 12 years old. The following year, she cracked the top ten at 13, securing 10th place. By the end of 2024, she'd moved to 12th overall despite competing against players twice her age with decades more experience.
The progression isn't luck. Tournament results show consistent deep runs: 5th at the 2022 WPBA Sledgehammer Open at age 12, 4th at the 2024 WPBA Borderline Brunswick Invitational, 5th at the 2024 WPBA Capital City Invitational, and 5th again at the 2025 WPBA Colorado Classic. She's making finals and cashing checks against players who've been professionals longer than she's been alive.
Silver Medal at World Juniors, Gold at USA Nationals
The 2024 WPA World Junior Championship in Hamilton, New Zealand delivered an all-American final: Easton versus Mast in the Girls division. Mast won 6-5 in a hill-hill match, taking gold while Easton claimed silver. Both reached the final by defeating international competition—Easton took down Wang Wan-Ling in the semifinals before facing her longtime rival.
The Easton-Mast rivalry extends beyond single matches. They've played approximately 50 times over the past four years according to reports, with matches consistently close regardless of format or stakes. Mast, two years older and from Florida, provides the measuring stick Easton uses to track improvement. When they met again at the 2025 USA National Pool Championships in July, Easton dominated 9-2, reversing the World Junior result and capturing the inaugural USA Women's 8-Ball title.
Junior National Champion Seven Times
Easton's first BEF Junior Nationals came in 2021 in Las Vegas, where she went two-and-out. She told her mother she'd win the following year. In 2022, she won two junior national titles. By 2024, she'd accumulated nine BEF Junior National Championships across multiple disciplines and age divisions.
Her 2024 BEF Junior Nationals results: champion in 22-and-under 10-ball and 22-and-under straight pool, silver in 22-and-under 8-ball and 18-and-under 10-ball, bronze in 18-and-under straight pool. That's five podium finishes in five divisions at a single event. The pattern holds across 2022, 2023, and 2024—multiple titles per year, different disciplines, dominant performances in age groups where she's often younger than the division ceiling.
Competing on the World Stage
Easton's 2025 schedule demonstrates the grind of professional pool. She represented the USA at The World Games in Chengdu, China in August, competing in the Women's 10-Ball division alongside Chezka Centeno and Han Yu in Group C. She traveled to Jacksonville, Florida for the Women's World 9-Ball Championship in December, her third appearance in the world's most prestigious women's tournament at just 15 years old.
Playing Multiple Disciplines
Easton competes in 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, and 14.1 straight pool. Most players specialize; she excels across formats. Her straight pool championships at BEF Junior Nationals in 2022, 2023, and 2024 demonstrate patience and positional control—skills that translate directly to rotation games. Her 8-ball success requires reading patterns and solving clusters, fundamentals that make her dangerous in any format.
The format versatility matters economically. More disciplines mean more tournament opportunities, more prize money, more chances to improve. She's won events at Ultimate Pool USA stops, MOB Productions tournaments, regional tour stops, and national championships. The calendar stays packed: BEF Junior Nationals, WPBA tour stops, WPA world championships, regional qualifiers, invitational events.
The Vegas Background
Born February 8, 2010, Easton learned pool in Las Vegas watching her father play at home on that Brunswick Gold Crown table. The Gold Crown I model was manufactured between 1961 and 1974—an iconic table with historical significance. Starting at age four, she absorbed the fundamentals: cue ball control, angle recognition, shot selection. By the time she entered competitive play at 11, she'd logged thousands of hours on regulation equipment.
Las Vegas provides access other cities can't match. Multiple pool rooms, constant action, traveling pros passing through, tournaments every week. She practices at Griff's Bar & Billiards, one of her sponsors. The environment creates opportunities to play different styles, test skills against varied competition, and learn the game beyond home practice.
Beyond Pool
Easton plays ice hockey, soccer, flag football, baseball, and volleyball. Her WPBA profile lists hobbies: guitar, piano, baking. The athletic diversity suggests coordination and competitive instincts that translate across sports. Pool requires body control, visualization, mental stamina—skills developed through varied athletic experience.
The multi-sport background prevents burnout. Fifteen years old, traveling internationally, competing against adults—that pressure accumulates. Other activities provide outlets beyond pool rooms and tournament venues. The balance matters for long-term sustainability in a sport that chews up prodigies who specialize too early.
The Question Ahead
Easton's trajectory from 29th at age 12 to 10th at age 13 to elite status at 15 raises one question: where does it go from here? She's already competing at world championships. She's already ranked in the global top 20. She's already defeating top-tier professionals. The ceiling isn't visible yet.
Her head-to-head results against Mast show improvement—the World Junior silver medal loss followed by the USA National dominant victory. That progression from close matches to commanding wins suggests she's not plateauing. Multiple analysts describe her as potentially the most talented American female teenager ever seen in pool. If she maintains this pace, the next five years become unpredictable.
She's already making her third Women's World 9-Ball Championship appearance. She's competing in mixed doubles events with male professionals. She's representing the USA at international competitions. The experience accumulates. The pressure becomes familiar. The elite players become known opponents rather than distant legends.
The roadrunner nickname fits. She moves quickly through divisions, through rankings, through achievements that take others decades. At 15, she's reached territory most players never see. The question isn't whether she'll succeed—she's already succeeding. The question is how far the success extends and whether the trajectory holds through the challenges that broke other prodigies.
