Interested News: Mark Williams, a snooker player, makes the “shot of the year” without hitting a single ball.

  1. Despite not potting a single ball in his attempt at the Champion of Champions, Mark Williams’ amazing stroke left snooker fans in awe.

Legendary Welsh snooker player Mark Williams had supporters rejoicing over what they consider to be the “shot of the year” during his first-round Champion of Champions matchup with Robert Milkins. Despite losing that evening, the 48-year-old will always be remembered for his incredible safety shot, which allowed him to get out of a position that looked hopeless.

With just the pink and black remaining on the table, Williams was facing a 14-point disadvantage after falling behind 4-3 in the best-of-seven match. Williams knew that if he potted the pink, his hopes of moving forward would be eliminated, even if Milkins had left it dangling over the bottom corner pocket in a safety struggle.

In order to give his opponent hope for a match-winning pot, Williams purposefully missed the pink, sending it up the table and into the middle. However, Williams was able to tuck the cue ball behind the black and snooker Milkins to thunderous cheers in Bolton.

With a cheeky smile on his lips, the three-time world champion turned to face Milkins, knowing that he had just completed another one of his incredible safety shots, to which the public has grown accustomed over the years.

Even though he hadn’t potted a ball and lost the frame and match after Milkins managed to escape, many fans hailed the shot as the “shot of the year” when it surfaced on social media.

It’s really hard to win snooker when there’s only pink and black left on the table, but Milkins managed to pull off the victory. Williams lost to Barry Hawkins, the player who had earlier eliminated Luca Brecel, the current World Snooker Championship champion, in the semi-finals of the competition. However, Williams’ incredible safety shot, which many hailed as the “best of the year,” will live on in the memory of those who witnessed it.
