Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan won a record equalling seventh Snooker World Championship crown last year but says he has to visit 'dark places' each time he competes for the coveted title.
The 46-year-old is current world number one and won the Hong Kong Masters last weekend playing some impressive snooker in the process. However, for the major tournaments O'Sullivan says he faces mental torment due to the pressure involved.
"If you are going to win the world championships, or win any tournament of that stature, whether it's golf, tennis, darts, whatever, it does take you to some dark places," said O'Sullivan talking to the Daily Mail.
