Ronnie O’Sullivan was thankful he was able to climb 'Arthur's a***' after crashing out of the Scottish Open.
The world No.1 was edged out 4-3 by Geordie Gary Wilson in a thriller at the Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh. Tyneside Terror Wilson, a huge underdog, held his nerve with a brilliant break of 73 in a tense deciding frame to seal his first ever victory over the Rocket.
Wilson looked in complete control in the decider - with O'Sullivan suffering a surprise early exit before Thursday's last 16. O'Sullivan has won two prestigious invitational events at the Hong Kong Masters and the Champion of Champions this year, but his wait for his first ranking title of the season goes on.
