A short post today to remind readers that the final event of the 2013/14 Asian Tour is now underway, with four main tour places, as well as eight Players Championship Grand Finals spots up for grabs this week in Dongguan, China.
The even began earlier today, notable pro scalps being Daniel Wells, Cao Xinlong and Li Yan, while Mark Davis was the highest ranked player to progress today, earning himself another 360 points in the race to a Crucible spot.
You can view my thoughts on the event following the publication of the draw last week here, while the scores and Asian Tour Order of Merit can be found at snookerorg.
Meanwhile, the seventh and final regular group of the Championship League came to a conclusion today, Ryan Day defeating Andrew Higginson 3-0 to join Martin Gould, Shaun Murphy, Stephen Maguire, Judd Trump, Joe Perry and Ricky Walden in the winner’s group, which starts tomorrow.
