BRUNEI Darussalam rising star Haji Khairuddin bin Haji Hasnan emerged champion in the HH9Ball Tournament title following a 7-4 victory over Zainal in an enthralling final at the Master Alim Pool Café in Kiulap recently.
Haji Khairuddin, who is also a national ranked player following his exploits in a number of major tournaments last year, was eligible to take part in the tournament as he was just outside of the current top six ranked players who were ineligible to take part in the competition.
The junior cueist, who has been one of the players who impressed in the national scene in recent times, was involved in a semi-final clash against fellow rival Haikal Qarin in the last-four phase to set up a final as favourites.
Zainal narrowly edged Asrizal 6-5 in the other semi-final in a closely fought affair before meeting the eventual winner.
