Weber won three times on the 2015 Australian Grand Prix Pro Tour, as well as losing in five finals to finish second on the Order of Merit.[6] In 2016 he was defeated 6–5 in the final of the Chester Hill Open by Corey Cadby and won the Australian Masters by beating James Bailey.[7][8]

gollark: ```An esoteric programming language (ess-oh-terr-ick), or esolang, is a computer programming language designed to experiment with weird ideas, to be hard to program in, or as a joke, rather than for practical use. ```
gollark: My favourite esolang is probably Haskell.
gollark: I agree.
