Moving into the international arena, he won 9th place in the 1991 German Open and the 1991 Istanbul Efes Pilsen Grand Prix. Then in the 1992 Berlin World Championship, he took 8th place after beating Belgian world three-cushion billiards champion Raymond Ceulemans by 3-0.

He took 3rd place in the 1993 World Billiards Championship in Berlin, and won the 1994 World Cup (Three-cushion Division). He has played in the Holland Billiards League since 1994.

Sayginer was the winner of the 1998 World Billiards Championship (Three-cushion Division) held in Kemer, Antalya, Turkey by beating Cerwin Walentijn from Netherlands. In 2003, he won the championship in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, beating European champion Dick Jaspers of the Netherlands, and regained his title. He won the 2003 World Billiards Team Championship held in Monchengladbach, Germany along with his teammate Tayfun Tasdemir defeating the Greek team in the finals.

One of the best if not THE best.
Three Cushion Billiards is a carom billiards (carambole) the rule of the game is to hit 2 balls with your cue ball. Simple huh? well they must have thought so too, so they added a twist to it. The shooting player's cue ball must contact the cushions of the table at least three time before first touching the second object ball of their shot in order for the shooter to add a point to their count.. All his shots would actually win a point in a tournament eventhough they look like trick shots. If 9 ball could be compared to NASCAR and snooker to LE MANS, Three Cushion Billiards would be definatly the F-1.

You must hit the other 2 balls with your ball

- he's just a trick artist
  he's just good in tricks in carom ball. He's not the best player in the world, give respect to Efren Reyes,Earl Strickland and the likes. And this is the first time I heard of him.
