Yang Ching-shun (Chinese: 楊清順; born 3 April 1978) is a Taiwanese professional pool player, nicknamed "the Son of Pool."
Yang won the nine-ball event of the 1998 Asian Games against against then world pool champion Kunihiko Takahashi. He defended it in 2002 against Warren Kiamco.[1] In an unsuccessful attempt to defend that title for the second time, Yang settled for 3rd place as he was bested in the semi-finals by Jeff de Luna who then finished second to Antonio Gabica.[2]
Despite the fact that he never won a world championship in any discipline of pool like two of his fellow Taiwanese players (Chao Fong-pang and Wu Chia-ching) did, Yang has often been regarded as a potential world champion.
His best finish in the World Pool Championship is 3rd where he reached the semi-finals in 2002. However, he was bested by Francisco Bustamante who eventually lost to Earl Strickland in the finals.
