Wee Yee Hern-Vannee Gobi claimed Malaysia's first World Tour title at the Kaohsiung Masters on Sunday, displaying remarkable composure under pressure in a hard-fought victory. The Malaysian pair overcame a 0-2 deficit in the opening game to defeat South Korea's Ki Dong Ju-Jeong Na Eun 24-22, 21-17.
