2017 World Championship - Main Event

[Rocket147]

Well spotted!

[cueman]

He's such a lucky player Mcleod, the guy has no cueball control yet he manages to land on balls that he didn't play for. Its hard to believe a guy can get so much luck in a match but I think he should watch this match back and admit he had some unbelievable run this match.

[Cue crafty]

McLeod is giving this his all, like his life depended on it.
Great to see in sport...

I think the snooker gods may have spoken in favour of the hard working journey man. Maybe they think Trump needs a lesson in dedication? ( or a burger? ) 🤔

[Byrom]

hes crapping it

[Miig]

All that luck and all those good recovery shots and he's at 26 points. Not the fastest player around.

[magpie1892]

How can a break be so lucky, and so ****?

[Rocket147]

Looks like McLeod will do it

[Rocket147]

Oooohhhhhh

[cueman]

Trump wants out of here. Whatever he did to his shoulder is obviously not going to allow him to recover and with the matches get longer, probably better to go out now than later on. Oh well, bottom half now is weaker and literally anyone in that part can reach the final.

[Miig]

Ffs Trump.

[magpie1892]

Looks like McLeod will do it

And he won't even shake the ref's hand when he does!

Dreadful from Trump, injury or no.

[jrc750]

Well well well never saw that coming

[daffie]

Lovely to see Rory win...and at the tender age of 46 Wonderful!

:snooker:

[the lone wolf]

RORY FOR THE GLORY!
Well done McLeod... There can only be one!

[JimMalone]

There we have the shocker of the first round. I would call this the biggest first round surprise since Ding losing to Michael Wasley 2014, if it wasn't for Trump being injured.

Of course this opens up the draw in the bottom half, which was already the clearly weaker one from the start, even more.
