Hong Kong’s Ng On-yee stuns reigning women’s snooker world champion Nutcharut Wongharuthai, wins Winchester Open title
- The 31-year-old picks up second trophy this season after defeating Thai player Nutcharut Wongharuthai 4-0 in the final
- Ng plays Rory McLeod of Jamaica in her World Championship qualifier on Tuesday
The 31-year-old gave herself the perfect confidence boost ahead of her World Championship qualifier on Tuesday, cruising to a 4-0 win over Nutcharut in Leicester.
Ng’s victory was her second at a ranking event this year, after her success at the Eden Women’s Masters last November, and her 17th ranking title on the world tour.
“I am the champion of the 2022 Winchester Women’s Open and this is my second ladies’ ranking event title for the season,” Ng said.
“It is definitely a booster for my coming World Championship qualifiers and I am really looking forward to it.”
Ng, who has obtained a two-year wild card entry on the men’s tour, will take on Rory McLeod of Jamaica in the first qualifying round at the English Institute of Sport. If she wins, Ng would then face former world champion Ken Doherty.
Compatriot Marco Fu Ka-chun, who is making a return to the professional circuit after two years, will also attempt to qualify for the main tournament at the Crucible, and takes on England’s Ian Burns in his opening match.
