Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Cessy143]

Cheers Robert.

Ronnie is also on this list, he made 5 tons in his first round match in 2000 against Gray. Some achievment for a best of 19 match.

[The Statman]

ROUND FIFTY-EIGHT

Steve Davis did it in 1986
John Higgins did it in 2001
Shaun Murphy did it in 2005
Ronnie O'Sullivan did it in 2004
John Parrott did it in 1991
Stephen Hendry did it three times

...at the Crucible, and no other player has (and none of these players did it in a year I haven't specified).

What?

[Alex0paul]

They all beat Scottish players in round 1 and went on to reach the final?

[chasmmi]

Won the final against a player who was not a former champion?

[The Statman]

Won the final against a player who was not a former champion?

I presume that was a typo Chasmmi? I don't recall John Higgins winning the title in 2001, or Davis in 1986 for that matter

No correct answers yet...

[Mitsuko]

Played in a final where the opposition was making their first appearance in a crucible final

[The Statman]

Played in a final where the opposition was making their first appearance in a crucible final

Doesn't apply to Murphy, and would have applied to Dennis Taylor.

CLUE: The fact that they all reached the final in the year shown is relevant.

[Mal]

Made a century in each round at the crucible in the years shown?

[Alex0paul]

Does it have anything to do with another tournament?

[The Statman]

Mal – congratulations, spot on.

I'll delegate the updating of the scoreboard to whomever would like to!
