Ko Ping Chung
King Killer
#27
Ko Ping Chung, nicknamed the "King Killer", authored one of the World Nineball Tour's most dramatic runs at the 2023 US Open. After a historic semi-final win over Aloysius Yapp in which he potted all 99 balls in play, he went on to beat Fedor Gorst in the final to claim the title.
The Taipei native made further history at home by becoming the first player to win both the Chinese Taipei Open and the Sharks International 9-Ball Open, and has also claimed a World 10-Ball Championship away from the tour.
