World Snooker Championships: Graeme Dott hits 147 in qualifiers as he stands to pocket big cash prize

Larkhall star Graeme Dott hit a 147 maximum break on his way to reaching the final qualifying round for the World Snooker Championships.

The 44-year-old recorded only the second maximum of his career in a 6-1 triumph over Pang Junxu, with the 147 coming in the fifth frame of the match at the English Institute of Sport.

Dott’s last 147 break came 23 years ago at the British Open in 1999.
