HÀ NỘI — South Korean player Myung-Woo Cho won the International three-Cushion Billiards Tournament that ended in the southern province of Bình Dương on Sunday.

The 21-year-old player, who is considered a billiards prodigy, defeated Nguyễn Ngọc Trị of Bình Dương 40-12 in the final after 14 innings.

Earlier, Cho, who is world rank 13 and has won three bronze medals at world championships, beat world number eight Trần Quyết Chiến in the quarter-finals and then Nguyễn Quốc Nguyện in the semi-finals.

Chiến grabbed a world championship bronze in February and was crowned the winner of the International three-Cushion Billiards Tournament last year, coming from behind to beat Kang Dong Koong of South Korea 40-30 for the title. 

Cho won the prize of VNĐ60 million (US$2,600). He also won the award for the player who scored the most points in a run.

Seventy-five local and international players competed in the event. — VNS
