Choi Hye-mi becomes the first woman to top the professional women's billiards tour as a 'fellow hobbyist'
Choi Hye-mi poses with her trophy.
Choi Hye-mi (Welcome Savings Bank) has been crowned the new women's professional billiards champion.
Choi defeated Kim Ye-eun (Welcome Savings Bank) in the final of the NH Card LPBA Championship with a set score of 4-2 (4-11 11-4 11-5 11-5 6-11 11-8) at the Kintex PBA Stadium in Goyang City, Gyeonggi-do, on Monday night.
Choi, who became the 12th Korean player to be crowned LPBA "Queen," earned 30 million won in prize money and 20,000 ranking points, jumping from No. 40 on the money list to No. 5 (32,272 won).
Kim, who became the youngest player to win the SK Rent-a-Car Championship at the start of the 2020-2021 season at the age of 21 years and seven months, had to settle for her third career title.
Choi Hye-mi was a judo athlete during her school days, but as an adult, she picked up her first cue through a part-time job at a billiard hall.
After playing only as an amateur, Choi made her professional debut in 2019 at the LPBA Open Challenge, which is open to amateur players.
Choi Hye-mi breaks down in tears at her victory press conference
With her victory, Choi Hye-mi made history by becoming the first professional billiards player to win a "former club member" title.
At the post-match press conference, Choi said, "I was looking for a job and a friend recommended me to start working part-time at a billiard hall. I watched the customers play and thought it was really fun," she said, adding, "I learned billiards little by little while working and gradually improved my score."
After winning his first title four years after his professional debut, he laughed: "It doesn't feel real yet, but I'm sure it will come tomorrow."
Meanwhile, the Welvang Top Ranking (2 million won), which is awarded to the player with the highest average in a single match, was won by Yong Hyun-ji (Hi One Resort), who recorded an average of 1.923 in a 25-6 win over Park Sun-kyung in 13 innings in the round of 64.
With the LPBA winner crowned, the men's PBA Round of 128 will begin at 11 a.m. on Sept. 9. 토토사이트
