Does Ronnie need to reach the Welsh final to qualify?
Would be a shame if he weren't in this.

That's the sort of challenge that motivates Ronnie though. He sometimes struggles with smaller tournaments, or if he doesn't find something difficult enough.
Tell him that he needs to reach a final to get into a tournament that he DOES want to be in, and you just know he'll raise his game in order to do it.

Yeah I thought that, he does seem in pretty good nick so far, he may have to face Allen in the semis if he makes it that far, so it's not straightforward.

Pity that they can't announce the draw until after the Welsh Open finishes.

Judd has lost in the opening rounds of both the Players championship and Tour championship in the last 2 years. This has happened ever since Cazoo started sponsoring them! Can he at least get beyond the opening round this time?

It’s true. And these are worrying times. But the real question looms…
Who is going to fall prey to the Cazoo Think Pink curse?! Dark forces are at play here. But into the darkness comes the light. As a wise man once said - “We Seen it all befor at Amtyvile”

He got to the final of the UK championship. I think the runner up prize for that was £100,000.

Possibly the worst lineup there’s ever been for this tournament in terms of names but they obviously all deserve to be there
