Kok Leong, 27, drew first blood in the best-of-seven-frames showdown, winning the opener 75-24. Wattana won the next 88-34 to level the match but the hot-potting Malaysian edged ahead by clinching the third frame 70-25. However, 2-1 was as good as it got for Kok Leong as the Thai cue-master found another gear and began schooling the young upstart. Wattana took the next three frames 65-48, 83-33 and 67-42 to grab the gold medal.
