Rory conquers Leg 8 with ease

(l-r) Lai Chee Wei and Rory Thor

Rory Thor continues to show domination in the XZ Snooker Tour 2011 as he easily beats Lai Chee Wei in the one sided Final at Q2 Snooker.

Semi Finals was a very brief affair as Rory whiteswashed former Asian champion Sam Chong 4-0 whilst Lai Chee Wei sent off Mohd Reza with a scoreline of 4-2.

Final cued off at 9pm sharp and Rory easily took Frame 1 with a break of 72 points but soon was leveled by Lai at 1-1 after a scrappy frame. Rory immediately bounced back and won 2 frames in a row to regain lead at 3-1, needing only 1 more frame to seal victory. After a 15 minutes break, Lai seemed to be in control in Frame 5 but was denied finally at the end as Rory cleared up to win Frame 5 by 2 points, winning frame and match.

Rory Thor adds another Champion's trophy to his mantelpiece along with cash prize of RM 2,500 whilst Lai pockets RM 1,000 for his effort.
