Lam & Asada Share Asian Tour Wins

Royden Lam (PDC)

ROYDEN LAM and Seigo Asada shared victories on the opening weekend of the PDC Asian Tour in Seoul, which also saw Noel Malicdem achieve a nine-dart finish.

The opening weekend of the new Asia-wide circuit saw almost 200 players competing in South Korea, with each event offering $10,060 in prize money.

Saturday's opening tournament featured a nine-dart finish from Philippines thrower Noel Malicdem, although he went on to lose 5-3 to Hong Kong's Royden Lam.

Lam also defeated Chinese ace Lihao Wen and Japan's Yuya Higuchi in the latter stages, although his hopes of completing a weekend double were ended by Arashi Matsumoto in the last 16 of Sunday's second event.

Seigo Asada (PDC)

The Event Two final saw Hyun-Chul Park pay for missed match darts in the deciding leg of his tight contest with Seigo Asada, who came from 4-3 down to win 5-4, taking out 56 to take the victory.

Asada - who was knocked out by Yuki Yamada in the last 32 of Event One - overcame fellow countrymen Matsumoto and Haruki Muaramatsu on his way to Sunday's title.
