Choong-Toh made the national contingent’s participation that much sweeter as they captured the mixed doubles trophy, courtesy of a 21-18, 21-18 triumph over Indonesian duo Muh Putra-Sofy Al Mushira.
The world number 263 pair were also excellent in their campaign, winning most of their matches in comfortable fashion.
This was their second title this year, having won the first title on their debut at the Polish Open in March.
In the men's doubles, Beh Chun Meng-Goh Boon Zhe did well to reach the semi-finals after coming through the qualifiers, before their run was ended by eventual champions Muh Putra Erwiansyah-Patra Harapan of Indonesia.
