Guiness 9-Ball Asian Tour 2008


Today's the start of the Guiness 9-ball Asian Tour 2008. See various nationalities play the "alternative golf". Watch as players apply analytical geometry and skillfully putt a ball-with-chickenpox into fruit-colored round objects until they sink into a hole.

Show your support for our Filipino players by watching (and cheering in spirit). First leg is at Chinese Taipei from Feb.29 to March 2. Last year's first prize per leg was USD 15,000. (Now, that's a lot of dough to make in just three days of competition.)

----------

3rd UPDATE: Joven Bustamante of the Philippines made it to the finals. He fought back from trailing Ko Pin Yi of Taipei to win 9-7. He will face Chang Jing Lun of Taipei for the title of the 1st leg.

----------

Final UPDATE: Chang Jing Lun won the first leg of the Guiness Asian 9-Ball Tour. He won with a score of 11-5 over Joven Bustamante of the Philippines. We still have 5 legs to go. I hope a Pinoy wins one of the legs this year.
