I think the closest to an Open Singles win by a Goalie would be Tracy McMillin at Worlds. In other tour events I believe Todd won well after he had become a goalie, but Todd was an alltime great forward at one point so that doesnt really count. Ironically I am a goalie, and have gotten as high as 5th at Worlds in Open Singles, and the two people i lost to were goalies. :) Tracy and Bobby Diaz. One of the catch 22s on that though is there are very few top players that play goalie that haven't also been dominant forwards at times. Mares, Adkisson, Cartwright, Lofredo, Billy, Terry, etc. Besides the Gartmans that dont play singles, the only top players i know of that havent been dominant forwards are Tracy, Bobby and Brandon (who got second at a nationals). Tracy was always a good forward but never great as his five row just wasnt up there with the best of the best. (though his shot made up for that at times)
