SUPER WILSON PLAYS TO THE MAX

KYREN WILSON marked the 40th anniversary of Cliff Thorburn’s first Crucible 147 in style by making a magnificent maximum to join an elite club. 

World No.7 Wilson lit up an incident-packed World Championship yesterday with a moment of snooker perfection.

The 31-year-old potted 15 reds, 15 blacks and all the colours in the fifth frame of his first-round clash with Ryan Day.

It was the 13th maximum made at the blue-riband event, and Wilson became the ninth player to achieve the feat – with snooker legends Ronnie O’Sullivan and Stephen Hendry having done it three times each.
