Lai captures 2011's finale event

(l-r) Rory Thor, Kevin Keow from Climax Indah and Lai Chee Wei

Lai Chee Wei wins the last leg of the XZ Snooker Tour 2011 at Climax Indah Snooker as he beats Rory Thor 4-2 shortly after the midnight chime.

Both players displayed exceptional match form as they discarded recent SEA Games gold medalist Sam Chong and former National Champion Patrick Ooi effortlessly, registering the same score line of 4-1.

The Final started shortly after 10pm but the crowd were still around despite the late hours, eagerly waiting for some intense action between both players to spark. After breaking off, It was Lai who drew first blood as he reeled off the first 2 frames to lead 2-0, but was quickly stopped in his tracks as Rory replied equally strong to level the match at 2-2.

After a short break, Lai regained his form to snatch Frame 5 at 51-9, leading 3-2 and needing only one more frame to seal the deal. After a rally of safety and misses, Lai broke away, clearing up a scrappy frame and went on to win the match 4-2.

Lai goes home with the cash prize of RM 3,000 and the Champion's trophy whilst Rory settled for the Runner up's trophy and cash prize of RM 1,500.
