Three-time world champion Ng On Yee claimed the US Women’s Open for the first time by easing to two whitewash wins on the final day of the event.
On Yee produced breaks of 52, 73 and 83 in a 4-0 final win over India’s Anupama Ramachandran on Sunday after earlier enjoying a 4-0 semi-final win over England’s Tessa Davidson, who had been appearing in her first major semi-final since reaching the final of the 1999 British Open.
In claiming a 21st ranking event title, the Hong Kong player did not drop a frame in winning all 19 after topping Group B on Saturday.
There were four straight victories to reach the quarter-finals, which included a 2-0 win over Ramachandran, boosted by a fine 90 break.
The other semi-final saw Ramachandran defeat Rebecca Kenna 4-1 after the Indian had completed a 3-2 victory over defending champion Mink Nutcharut.
On Yee will be among the favourites when the UK Women’s Championship is staged at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds next month (September 6-8).
