Hui Fen's final two games of 201 and 248 was a little too late as the 17-year-old Asian Youth Games two gold medalist settled for 22nd position with 1539. Koreans dominated the first round taking up the top 3 positions.
Over in the men's division, Remy Ong's late charge in the second half failed to secure the Singaporean a top 16 finish ending up in 22nd with 1653. Jason Yeong-Nathan finished a woeful 35th position with 1528.
