Pijus Labutis finally broke through for his first Matchroom Major title at the 2025 Hanoi Open, ending years of close calls with a run built on patience and steady long-game play. The same year he became the first Lithuanian to represent Team Europe at the Mosconi Cup, on the winning side.

His rise had been building for a while: a maiden WNT ranking title at the Mezz Hill-Hill Estonia Open, a European Open semi-final, and a string of podium finishes through 2024 at the UK Open, the Super Billiards Expo Open and the Spanish Open.
