Thailand’s Mie “James” Udon clobbered Philippines’ Bos Reyes 5-1 to capture the 2009 Ambassador’s Cup - Philippine Independence Day Asian Invitational 8 Ball Tournament held today at the Centre Carougeois de Billard.
It was a shaky start for Udon who was trailing as Reyes took the 1st rack to lead 1-0. However, Udon started to get serious and pulled out all his guns to take the rest of the next 5 racks to finalized his victory. This is the second consecutive year that the Thais have taken the much-coveted Ambassador’s Cup. Last year, another Thai player, Manat Dornkan took home the cup.
In the battle for 3rd place, Vietnam’s Steven Linh crushed Philippines’ Ruben Zaballa 5-2. The Vietnamese rookie cue player took the offensive and wrapped up the first 2 racks. Zaballa tried to rally from behind but the effort seemed to be futile as Linh was unstoppable in pocketing shots and positioning the white ball perfectly for the next shots.
The Philippine Billiard Club-Geneva would like to thank H.E. Ambassador Erlinda Basilio, Consul General Junever Mahilum-West, and the Mabuhay Asian Store for their prize donations.
Maraming Salamat po !!!
