1992 King's Cup
The 1992 King's Cup was an invitational non-ranking snooker tournament held in Bangkok in December 1992. Nigel Bond won the tournament by defeating James Wattana 8–7 in the final.[1][2][3] Sixteen players, a mixture of amateurs and professionals, were invited to compete. Four players were exempted to the quarter-final stage, where they each faced the winner of a qualifying group.[2] In the final, Wattana took a 2–0 lead; Bond moved ahead for the first time at 5–4.[2] Wattana was a frame from victory at 7–6, but Bond took the 14th frame and then recorded a break of 106 in the deciding frame to secure the title.[2][4] Going into the tournament, Bond had been on a poor run of form.[5] After winning the championship, Bond commented that the tournament was "a nice break from the main [snooker] circuit and the pressure ...It was just the tonic I needed".[2] He received £2,500 prize money.[2] Main drawPlayers in bold denote match winners.[2][6]
