Rory conquers the Nationals

(l-r) Rory Thor and Iniesta Lim

Favourite for the title from the very beginning, Rory Thor didn't disappoint his fans as he steamrolled Iniesta Lim 6-0 to win the 25th National Snooker Championship 2013 at Good 9 Snooker Center.

Soon to represent Malaysia in the upcoming 4th Asian Indoor Games at Incheon, South Korea, Rory was in control from the first frame as the much inexperienced Iniesta Lim played cluelessly, losing frame after frame. After the mid interval session, Iniesta managed to play slightly better but was still unable to chase back, finally losing it without scoring a frame.

This match also goes into Malaysia's history as the only one where a player fails to win a frame in the Final.

Rory Thor takes home RM 5,000 cash prize, the Champion's trophy and also the Challenge Trophy sponsored by Jaring Metal Industries S/B. Iniesta Lim settles for the Runner up's trophy and RM 2,000 cash prize. Rory also claims the Highest Break cash prize of RM 800 with 100 points in his Quarter Final match.

Final Result
Rory Thor 6 - 0 Iniesta Lim
60-7, 66-17,75-35, 69-41, 52-21, 61-48
