Ronnie O’Sullivan STUNS fans with shot of the tournament at Players Championship snooker

Tournament favourite O’Sullivan was 2-1 down against Ding Junhui when he sunk a long red early in the fourth frame.

The five-time world champion drew the applause from amazed fans in Llandudno when rolling a red into the far right pocket.

What was so incredible about the shot was the confidence O’Sullivan had to leave the cue ball on a number of reds, potentially handing Ding the chance to sweep up.

World Snooker themselves were evidently pretty pleased with the effort.

They tweeted: “Shall we hand out shot of the tournament?”

And the reaction on Twitter certainly highlighted just how good the shot was.

“Poetry in motion” one user wrote.

Another said: “This man is unbelievable!”

And a third tweeted: “He Makes Century's from nowhere. When most players would just eke out a 50 break. Phenomenal break! GOAT”
