In a marvelous display of skill and precision, Indian cueist Pankaj Advani emerged victorious at the Songhe Singapore Open, defeating local favorite Jaden Ong with a commanding 5-1 score on Sunday.
Advani's road to the championship was not without its challenges. In the quarterfinal, he narrowly defeated Thailand's Dechawat Poomjaeng, a former IBSF world snooker champion, in a gripping 4-3 encounter at the Lagoon Billiards Room. Despite the seemingly clear scoreline in the final, the initial frames were fiercely contested, with Advani edging out Ong by clearing the colors from a deficit in both.
Ong managed to claw back a frame, but Advani's strategic snooker on the final brown in the fourth frame proved pivotal. The Indian maestro ultimately sealed his victory with an impressive 74-6 triumph in the decisive frame, paving the way for his title defense in Doha next month.
