In the opening match of the four-player shootout, No 4 Göran Persson flew pastMarc Jörg, seeded third, 203-161, to meet second-seeded Bezuchet in the semifinal. Bezuchet was able to weather the challenge, 223-213, to take on Kwan for the title.

Kwan, who won the Swiss Team Championship with Team Messenger  at the same venue the week before, put the match away well before the final frame and went off the sheets for a 131-pin victory.
