Hong Kong's Lam was victorious in Saturday's Event One, as he edged out Singapore's Lim 5-4 in the final, averaging 98 to his rival's 105 as he came from 4-3 down to snatch the win.

Lam was also victorious against former World Championship qualifier Keita Ono with a 99 average, and saw off Kazuki Hagane and Prince Shek 5-1 in his quarter-final and semi-final games.

Lim defeated Lakeside Women's Champion Mikuru Suzuki in the last 16, Hong Kong's Kevin Leung in the quarter-finals and 2018 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner Lourence Ilagan in the semi-finals on his way to the decider.
