China's Hu Kai won the men's 10m air pistol title with an overall score of 246.4 points at the ISSF World Cup in Lima, Peru, on Tuesday.

Hu joined China's Paris Olympics gold medalist Xie Yu in reaching the finals, and ranked first with 102.3 points after the first 10 rounds.

They moved on to the knockout phase, and Hu continued to consistently hit his targets as he increased his lead.

The 23-year-old, who won the season opener in Buenos Aires on his birthday just under two weeks ago, edged Brazil's Felipe Almeida Wu by 5.4 points to claim another title in the Peruvian capital. Xie settled for fifth.
