Michal Szubarczyk has taken the world of snookers by storm with his rare feat at the English Institute of Sport.  Yankee Scores reports. 

Michal Szubarczyk has emerged the youngest player to win a game in the World Snooker Championship qualifiers’ first round.

New Prodigy on the block

The 15-year-old 2-month-and-25-day-old broke Liam Davies’s record from last year. He beat three-time women’s world snooker champion Ng On Yee of Hong Kong 10-7 in the first day of World Championship qualifiers.

The three-time women’s world snooker champion Ng On Yee won matches recently on the women’s circuit in February and March. She came into the game motivated to do well. Michal Szubarczyk will require three more wins for qualification as the youngest qualifier to appear at the Crucible Theatre.

“I feel very proud,” Szubarczyk told the World Snooker Tour.

“I’m very excited to play the next match, and maybe this year or next year, I can become the youngest Crucible player.

“For me, it’s the first goal of every player in professiona

l snooker [to play in the World Championship]. I’m enjoying the pressure. It doesn’t work in a bad way for me.

If he qualifies, he will break the record set by Luca Brecel in 2012. Brecel had appeared at the Crucible as the youngest qualifier at age 17 years and 45 days. Elsewhere, six-time finalist Jimmy White was knocked out of the competition in the first qualifier round after losing a thrilling battle against Chinese player Gao Yang.

The player, who turns 64 next month, beat his younger opponent 5-1 in the first frames, but the 21-year-old fought back and secured his victory by winning the last frame of the game. This marks Jimmy White’s long wait of two decades to come back to the Crucible.
