NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Ronnie O’Sullivan says the high break prize would have to be as much as £50,000 for him to have a go at making a 147, asking what the point of going for it for any less would be.
The Rocket has made 15 maximums in professional competition over his career, but none since 2018 when he made one in the China Open and another in the English Open.
He has been involved in some 147 chat of late after Judd Trump made one against him in the Champion of Champions final and the Rocket did not get up to shake his hand.
The world champion has since claimed that was partly down to him finding making 147s so simple that he didn’t think to acknowledge it.
