SEO SEOA is the LITTLE MONSTER Women’s International Open Champion as she took down Kelly Fisher by two sets to zero in a high-quality final that hinged on a few small positional errors. The Korean lady ran undefeated through the tournament and can claim a winner’s cheque for $22,500 for her stellar efforts.
A winner of the Predator PBS Indonesia International Women’s Open back in July; Seoa can look forward to the Kamui WPA Women’s 9-Ball World Championship in Jacksonville next month with sky-high confidence. Both sets were won by 4-3 indicating the closeness but it was Fisher who gave the most away.

Commented Seoa, “I’m so happy now as it felt such a long day. At the start I played not so well but I’m trying to do my best. The second set I think I played better than the first and also, I was a little lucky because Kelly missed a 9-ball and then I had a chance to win the match.
“I was always working hard and practicing every day and there’s one more tournament the World 9-ball Championship and I’ll do my best in that tournament too. I’ll be eating dinner with the Korean team as they’ve supported me a lot so I’ll buy them a good dinner!” she added.

For Fisher, it was always disappointing to lose a big final but she felt that her game is trending in the right direction; “Potting-wise, I didn’t miss but my safeties weren’t there. Either too thick, too thin, overrunning. I did kind of run out but missed position on an 8 or a 9 and then didn’t do a good safe to back it up and I lost racks that I shouldn’t have lost.
“I really felt like I lost three of four racks that I shouldn’t have lost. However, Seoa punishes you and that’s what she’s there to do and she’s good at that and cleared the table each time or put me in a better snooker. Great player, great opponent so congratulations to her. But it could have gone either way but a few shots kind of killed it for me.”
