Jimmy White scored his first match win of the season with a thrilling 4-3 defeat of Welshman Duane Jones at BetVictor Scottish Open qualifying.
The ten-time ranking event winner enjoyed a strong 22/23 season, which saw him earn a fresh two-year tour card thanks to his performances on the one-year list. However, as of yet, he hasn’t quite carried that into the current campaign.
Having trailed 3-1 this afternoon, White took the fifth frame and then made a crucial 61 in the sixth to set up a decider. He controlled the final frame and earned his place in the final stages in Edinburgh, which kick off on December 11th.
Last week’s BetVictor Northern Ireland Open runner-up Chris Wakelin showed no signs of a let up in form, scoring a 4-2 win over Mark Joyce. Wakelin composed breaks of 72, 66, 67 and 71 to ensure his progression.
Jordan Brown top scored with a run of 130 in his 4-2 win over Adam Duffy and David Gilbert came through a final frame decider to beat Jak Jones 4-3.
Aaron Hill earned his place with a 4-1 win over close friend and mentor Ken Doherty, while 2015 World Champion Stuart Bingham whitewashed Michael White 4-0.
