At 17, Hendry also played in his first World Championship and lost 10-8 in R1 to odds on Willie.

Good age to start! This guy is already a World Cup winner too.

At 17 Liu Chuang qualified and did nothing

I also read somewhere North Korea was interested in hosting a PTC event a couple of years ago. I wonder what happened with that.

He looks like a born-again Christian. Or a young Conservative. Which is apt, since he's both.

Great stats - it is interesting to see his career begin. Will he reach the heights of those two?

I don't really see why ROS and Selby are so keen to hype him as a 'future world champion'. He's a good player no doubt, but he's not anything particularly special.

Yeah, there was a newspaper article about him a couple of years ago, where it talked about his interest in politics and how favours the blue side.

He looks like a born-again Christian. Or a young Conservative. Which is apt, since he's both.

Murphy votes Conservative?

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Yeah, same with Anthony McGill.
