JAMIE Jones became the fourth qualifier to reach the second round of the snooker World Championship in Sheffield, England, shocking world No.5 Shaun Murphy, winning 10-8.
It was an impressive Crucible debut for young Welshman Jones. The 24-year-old next meets Stephen Lee or Andrew Higginson.
"I've never felt pressure like that in my life," said Jones. "I started off yesterday and struggled to settle down and got into it by the end of the session. Today was a bit of a mixed bag, I was playing some great shots and missing some easy ones. I've never played an occasion like that in my life."
Meanwhile, Ronnie O'Sullivan opened up a substantial 7-2 lead over Peter Ebdon, and Matthew Stevens converted his overnight 8-1 lead into a comfortable 10-3 victory over Marco Fu.
