Michael Ferreira wins the World Am. Title in Delhi defeating Norman Dagley in a titanic battle by 2725 to 2631, with Ferreira leading by over 900 towards the end of the 3rd. session before Dagley closed the gap with 194 and 223 to leave him trailing by 502 going into the final session. Dagley then rolled in breaks of 296 and 281 to trail by only 48 only for Ferreira to conjure up a break of 244 to close out the match.
Ferreira was the outstanding player of the tournament based on his prolific scoring. He had 8 triples, 17 doubles and 33 single centuries in the round robin matches. Then in the semis and final he had a 600+, two 500+, two 300+ breaks, 4 breaks over 200, and ten century breaks. In his match against Bob Close in the round robin he averaged 123.6 scoring one 400+, two 300+, four 200+ and three 100+ breaks. Dagley as runner up averaged 31.3 for the final round.
