The 2022 World Women's Champion extends her career-title haul to six on the World Women's Snooker (WWS) Tour since her first victory in 2019, and in doing so insured that she will reclaim the world number one ranking following the tournament.

The second staging of the Championship welcomed four of the world's top five players, with Mink and Ng both competing on United States soil for the first time, while the 2022 finalists, Jamie Hunter and Rebecca Kenna, both returned for another tilt at the title. The field included players from no fewer than eight countries, with Canada's Maryann McConnell notably making her return to the circuit following a 28-year hiatus and sensationally reaching the knockout stages.

With the top four seeds having progressed to the semifinals, it was Mink and Ng who were the standout players throughout the event and defeated the defending champion Hunter and last year's runner-up Kenna to reach the title match.

Three-time world champion Ng made the stronger start as she dominated the opening frame with runs of 55 and 47, before she claimed a dramatic second on the black to double her advantage.

Mink was not to be deterred however, as she responded by winning the following two frames to draw level, before turning the tables with a black-ball steal of her own in frame five to take the lead for the first time at 3-2 up.

A high-quality contest with both players approaching 90% pot success, hopes of a deciding-frame for neutral watchers were to be dashed as Mink closed out victory with an impressive run of 56 in what would prove to be the sixth and final frame.
