Yang Ching Shun Takes Hong Kong
Apr 20, 2004, 4:42 PM

Yang took his second-ever San Miguel win.

The San Miguel Asian 9-ball Tour crowned Yang Ching Shun as the Hong Kong leg champion after he beat Hsia Hui Kai, 11-9, in an all-Taiwanese final, taking home US$10,000.

The match between Hsai and Yang was the first all-Taiwanese final in the Tour. Hsia took the lead in the early part of the game until 9-6, when Yang started his comeback and won five racks in a row to defeat Hsia by 11-9. This is Yang's secong title on the tour (his first was last season); it pushed him to third in the tour's rankings.

Yang took home US$10,000 for the win, while Hsia settled for $5,000. For more information, check out www.asian9-balltour.com.
