It was Ohori’s first title since winning the YONEX/K&D Graphics International Challenge in December 2018 and her biggest title since US Open 2017 – then a Grand Prix Gold event.
An emotional Ohori fell to the floor after beating Katethong 18-21 21-17 21-13 in 81 minutes.
In men’s singles, Chou Tien Chen bounced back from a recent crisis of poor form. The world No.14 had won only one match in his last five tournaments, and staged the perfect comeback with a hard-fought win over Loh Kean Yew in three games.
