Welsh Open 1992
# Welsh Open 1992

Die Welsh Open 1992 waren ein Snooker-Turnier der Saison 1991/92, das vom 10. bis 16. Februar 1992 im Newport Centre der südwalisischen Küstenstadt Newport ausgetragen wurde. Es war das erste Weltranglistenturnier in Wales. Es folgte der walisischen Profimeisterschaft nach, die im Vorjahr an selber Stelle mit demselben Sponsor, der Zigarettenmarke Regal, zum letzten Mal stattgefunden hatte.

Der Weltranglistenerste Stephen Hendry wurde seiner Favoritenrolle in Abwesenheit der Nummer zwei Steve Davis und der Nummer drei Jimmy White gerecht und holte sich den ersten Welsh-Open-Titel. Er besiegte den Waliser Darren Morgan im Finale mit 9:3.

## Preisgeld / Weltranglistenpunkte

Das Preisgeld von 120.000 £ war das zweitniedrigste dieser Saison unter den Profiturnieren, nur bei den ebenfalls neu eingeführten Strachan Open war es noch niedriger. Die Zahl der Weltranglistenpunkte war jedoch bei allen Turnieren bis auf die Weltmeisterschaft gleich.
