Gold for Snooker Doubles

(l-r) Sam Chong and Rory Thor after winning the Final

Malaysia first gold medal from the Billiard Sports came from the Snooker Doubles. Represented by Sam Chong AMN and Rory Thor Chuan Leong, they whitewashed Singapore's pair Marvin Lim Chun Kiat and Tommy Ang Boon Chin, making it a sweet revenge for Malaysia.

With breaks of 111, 64 and 109 to win the Final, it was even sweeter for Rory as he lost to the same pair in the Laos SEA Games 2009, where he partnered Lai Chee Wei and only could settle for Silver last time.

Sam Chong, who has been absent from the international scene about 10 years, had decided to take up the nation's call for the Games and to guide the younger generation using his vast experience of match play.

Rory Thor will be eyeing for his second Gold medal as he will be playing in the Snooker Singles, alongside with Lai Chee Wei.

Sam Chong during practice session

Sam Chong and Rory Thor has advanced into the Snooker Doubles Final of the 26th SEA Games 2011 in Palembang by white washing long time nemesis Thailand 3-0 in the Semi Finals this evening.

In contrast to the earlier morning match against host country Indonesia, where they narrowly escaped an early round elimination, both players seemed much more comfortable and confident going into the match. The Thai combination included Noppon Saengkham, whom recently won the Top Two Invitational Snooker Championship 2011 in Kuala Lumpur and Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon, current IBSF World U-21 Champion.

They will be playing against either Singapore or Myanmar, whom is playing in the other Semi Final.
