KARACHI: Pakistan’s 16-year-old Ahsan Ramzan made the country proud by winning the IBSF World Snooker Championship title.
Ramzan — who was seeded 27th in the tournament — defeated the more experienced and top-seeded Amir Sarkosh of Iran 6-5 in a nerve-testing final played in Doha.
Ramzan was once 3-5 down and the Iranian needed only one frame to clinch the title but the Pakistani cueist held his nerve, displayed amazing skills, and great control to resist his opponent and won three consecutive frames to earn the country’s fourth IBSF World Snooker title.
He is also the country’s youngest to win this trophy after Mohammad Asif, who won it twice, while veteran Mohammad Yousuf won it in 1994.
