Congratulations to Liang Wenbo who has just made his first career 147 during an amazing third round qualifying match against Martin Gould this afternoon…
Indeed this was an absolutely sensational performance from Wenbo as not only did he make the superb maximum, but he also made two breaks of 139 and another of 115 on his way to a 5-1 win over Martin Gould. I know that players such as Hendry, O’Sullivan and Higgins have scored a number of centuries in quick succession before but I’m not sure that I have ever seen scoring like this before in a best of 9 qualifying match.
What makes it even more remarkable is that before today, Wenbo’s career high break in a professional match was the 134 he made during the 2005 UK qualifiers. What a way to break that!
Liang will now play Michael Judge for a place in the final stages of the event tomorrow. If he plays like he did today then Judge might be spening a long time sat in his chair.
Hopefully I will be able to link to some quotes from Liang after the match…
Liang Wenbo 5-1 Martin Gould 115(115)-7, 139(139)-0, 73(58)-6, 147(147)-0, 0-63(52), 139(139)-0
