鈥楻ocket鈥 O鈥橲ullivan blasts to 1,000th century break
Print Edition
Ronnie 鈥淭he Rocket鈥 O鈥橲ullivan became the first snooker player to reach 1,000 career centuries by clinching the Players Championship title with a break of 134.
The five-time world champion from England got to the milestone after switching to play a shot left-handed 鈥 to huge cheers from the crowd at Preston Guild Hall. The 43-year-old O鈥橲ullivan won the final 10-4 against Australia鈥檚 Neil Robertson. Scotland鈥檚 Stephen Hendry, the record seven-time world champion, has the second most career centuries with 775, followed by fellow Scot John Higgins at 745. O鈥橲ullivan had started the week on 994 career centuries and added two more in the opening rounds without managing a century break in a 6-0 semifinal rout of compatriot Mark Allen. It was O鈥橲ullivan鈥檚 35th title, achieved at the same Preston venue where he won his first in 1993 when he beat Hendry in the UK Championship final to become the youngest winner of a ranking event at the age of 17 years and 358 days.
