Stuart Bingham; Peter Ebdon; Stephen Maguire; Cliff Thorburn.

PS The clue is in the question!

[jaguarf1]

you forgot Nick Dyson? They all have reached maximum (147) two times.

[The Statman]

Congratulations jaguarf1 and welcome to the scoreboard! Yes, they have all made exactly two official maximums, along with Nick Dyson.

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE

...Anyone?

[crucible77]

round 295
In the 1999 british open who did Ronnie O'Sullivan beat 5-0 in the first round?

[PaulTheSoave]

Jamie Burnett? (if you mean the last 32)

the previous round he beat Leigh Griffin 5-0 as well

[jaguarf1]

Leigh Griffin, but was it in the 1st round? I think it was in 3rd (the 1st round for Ronnie though)

[crucible77]

It was leigh griffin (i meant ronnies 1st round)
anyone want to do the table
not sure who to give the point to.
Paul or jaguarf?

[PaulTheSoave]

who gets the point then as your question was not clear? i mentioned both as normally the first round after qualifiers is the last 32. (round 4)

[crucible77]

Not sure myself
Sorry for not making it clear enough but i meant ronnies 1st round
The Statman will probably know, hell tell you.:snooker:

[PaulTheSoave]

maybe share it. each half a point

[crucible77]

yeah thats a good idea
Congratulations Paul the soave and jaguarf 1
