NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Jimmy White has credited both his son helping him in the practice room and working on his concentration for his incredible run through UK Championship qualifying.
At 60 years old, the Whirlwind has won four games in qualifying to make it to the last 32 of the huge tournament in York.
Whitewash 6-0 wins over Victor Sarkis and Mitchell Mann were impressive, but a 6-4 victory over former champion Stephen Maguire really caught the eye, then White got over the line in the qualifiers by beating Dominic Dale 6-1.
It is remarkable form from the veteran and he says it is partly due to the help from Tommy, but also really trying to focus on the mental side of the game, allowing for the immense talent he has always possessed to flow.
