Back to back wins for Rory

(l-r) Lee Hwa Meng, Jackson Wong from JL Snooker and Rory Thor

It was nearly 2am when Rory finally won and it took him all seven frames in the Final, beating Lee Hwa Meng again at JL Snooker and Pool Training Centre Malacca to claim his 2nd win on the XZ Snooker Tour 2012.

The Semi Final matches were two different affairs for both finalists. Rory won his match easily as he whitewashed Patrick Ooi 4-0 to advance but Lee Hwa Meng on the other hand faced a tougher opponent in Imtiaz Serwer. With a record of losing 5-0 and 4-2 in their previous meetings, Lee pulled all his tricks together and finally managed to win Imtiaz 4-2 after a 4 hour long ordeal.

Final cued off at 10pm sharp with both players' vengeance buried within them, Lee vowing to get the better of Rory after losing in the Leg 1 at Brewball SSTwo Mall. Playing in great form, Rory claimed the first frame but was soon trailing after Lee claimed the next 2 frames to lead 2-1. Frame 4 was a more conservative match and Rory won it on the colours to level at 2-2.

Rory trying to play a safety shot

After a short break, Lee came back in full force and won Frame 5 with ease. Needing one more frame to claim the title and a sweet revenge, Lee played carefully in Frame 6 but Rory put on an aggressive approach to again level the match at 3-3, pushing the match to the final frame.

Safety play was exchanged for almost 15 minutes in the final frame when Lee made a mistake to open up the pack with a bad safety, and Rory pounced on the chance given to score a 62 break, leaving Lee requiring snookers with one red on the table. After another 15 minutes of snookering and safety play, Rory finally potted the brown to win the frame and match.

Rory walks away with RM 3,500 and the Champion's trophy for his effort whilst Lee took back RM 1,500.

Leg 3 continues in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, this time at Good 9 Snooker & Pool Centre from 26 February to 4 March.
