Bio

Winner of the World Amateur and World Under-21 titles in 1997, Fu turned professional the next year and in the first event of his debut season finished runner up at the Grand Prix. Hong Kong’s best ever player, Fu won the first of his three ranking titles in the same event nine years later. A former member of the world’s top five, he has been to the final of both the UK Championship and The Masters, and has twice reached the semi-finals of the World Championship, missing out on the final by a single frame in 2006.
