Shortly after two victories in Kuala Lumpur, Rory Thor continues his streak back in his hometown as he wins the TOP SEED Penang Open Snooker Championship 2014. He defeats Mohd Reza 6-3 in the Final to make it 3 wins in a row.

Semi Finals scoreline were both identical and lasted only slightly short of the 2 hours mark as both delivered a whitewash 5-0 to Moh Keen Hoo and Sebastian H'ng.

The Final cued off with an already packed venue, all eager to catch a glimpse of the action that has been happening for the past 7 days. Once the Final cues off, Rory sped into a 4-0 lead whilst leaving a trail of smoke for Reza to try and catch up. After a short interval, Reza was still unable to do anything as Rory takes yet another frame to lead 5-0, requiring only 1 more frame for the RM 10,000 cash prize.

Things started to change in Frame 6 as Rory made a few more careless mistakes, leaving chances to Reza to garner points and continuously claiming 3 frames in a row to narrow the gap to 5-3.

Frame 9 cued off as Rory, trying hard to dismiss the previous frames mistakes, plays a more defensive approach. Reza tried to play a few safety but faltered at the last shot, leaving Rory a long red. Rory potted it and continued to make a match winning break of 68, sealing the frame and match.

Rory Thor takes away RM10,000 cash prize as the Champion whilst Mohd Reza manages only RM 5,000. Semi Finalists Moh Keen Hoo and Sebastian H'ng each takes RM 2,000 cash prize. Highest Break of the Championship goes to Zack Loh with his near maximum effort of 113 points.

Daniel Tan claims his biggest victory

(l-r) Asia Cafe Management representative Raymond and Daniel Tan

It was the biggest moment of his pool career but Daniel Tan finally made it on the 6th attempt as he claims his first victory, defeating Ye Thu Naung 9-7 to win the Asia Cafe 9 Ball Pool Tournament.

Both players were looking to break the record and win their first tournament, after displaying great matchplay form in the Semi Finals. Racks were shared in the earlier part with the score leveled at 4-4 but a careless mistake by Naung gave Daniel the chance to go ahead, taking 4 racks straight to reach the hill. Nervousness kicked in as Naung reduced the gap to 1 rack, leaving Daniel clueless during that moment.

Rack 16 belonged to Naung with a nice break off as he started clearing off the early balls, only to rattle the 8 Ball in the pocket. Daniel then came to the table, held the cue ball after potting the 8 Ball and sealed the match after taking the 9 Ball in the corner.

He takes home a handsome Champion's cash prize of RM 3,000 whilst Ye Thu Naung manages RM 1,500 for the Runner up's effort.

Iran's Soheil Vahedi was the favourite before the Final started, but it was Rory Thor who left the table last laughing after beating Soheil 6-3 to win the 3rd MIKE YOW Memorial Cup 2014 here at GOLDEN BREAK Subang USJ.

Soheil Vahedi dropped only 2 frames on his route to the Final, thus making him the favourite to lift the Champion's trophy. Our National No 1, Rory Thor, however had other thoughts as he walked into the Hall of Champions.

Final cued off with Rory drawing first blood, but was quickly leveled by Soheil at 1-1. Rory took a quick gear change and reeled in the next 2 frames, reaching the halfway point leading 3-1. After a short break, Soheil showed why he was 2-times runner up in the IBSF events as he quickly leveled the match to 3-3.

That was the last effort by Soheil as Rory returned the favour, displaying his superior match play form to race pass the finishing line by taking the next 3 frames and winning the match.

Rory Thor takes home RM 8,000 cash prize for his week long effort while our overseas friend Soheil Vahedi only manages RM 3,500. Highest Break prize went to Ibrahim Amir with his 119 break in his Group Stage effort.
