Jak Jones reacts to making snooker history on epic Championship League run
Share:
Jak Jones earned himself a piece of snooker history this week as he made the most centuries ever by a player in a professional tournament and he is not finished yet. The World Championship finalist is on an epic stint in the Championship League Invitational tournament, still competing in Group Six, having entered in the first group.

Two players are relegated from each group, while one triumphs and goes through to the Winners’ Group, whereas Jones has done neither so far and keeps returning for more and more games. The 31-year-old has been playing good stuff throughout – making a 147 earlier in the campaign – and during Group Five on Tuesday he took his century tally past the previous record for a single tournament of 24, ending the day on 26.

The Welshman is still going in the event so he could set a really huge record, but is typically understated about his achievement. ‘Yeah it’s alright,’ Jones told Metro. ‘I suppose it’s quite a good record to have. I’m sure if Judd was to play in every group then he could beat it, but it’s good.
‘I haven’t felt great all the way through. Half the time I’ve wanted to be here and the other half just wanted to go home. But I’ve stuck through it. I’d be practicing at home anyway in the club so I may as well be here playing matches, so it’s good.’.
